Categories Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 oz.) bottle beer
1-1/2 C. whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 C. ketchup (can use spicy)
3 T. brown sugar
3-4 T. oil
1 (4-5 lb.) beef brisket
salt & pepper
1 large onion, sliced
1-2 T. chopped garlic
1 can saurkraut (optional)

Steps:

Bring brisket almost to room temperature. Set oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl combine beer, cranberry sauce, ketchup and saurkraut (if desired); set aside. Season brisket with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, over high heat, heat oil and brown the brisket for about 5 min. each side, then transfer to a plate. Add in sliced onion and garlic and saute until soft (about 7-8 min.). Place the brisket back into the Dutch oven and pour the sauce over; bring to a boil, and cover pot tightly. Transfer to oven and cook until brisket is tender (about 3 hrs.) Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let sit for about 35 min., or longer before slicing. Spoon any fat from the top of the gravy. Thinly slice the brisket across the grain and return to the Dutch oven and into the gravy. Rewarm over low heat on top of the stove before serving.
