Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 12-ounce bottle beer
1 cup packed canned whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup catsup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 4- to 5-pound flat-cut beef brisket
1 large onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine beer, cranberry sauce and catsup in medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large Dutch oven over high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper. Add brisket to Dutch oven and sear until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer brisket to plate. Add sliced onion to same pot and sauté until soft and brown, stirring and scraping bottom of pot frequently, about 8 minutes. Place brisket on onions. Pour beer mixture over brisket. Bring liquids to boil. Cover pot tightly. Transfer to oven and bake until brisket is tender, about 3 hours. Let brisket cool 30 minutes before serving.
  • Spoon fat from top of gravy. Transfer brisket to cutting board. Thinly slice brisket across grain. Return brisket to gravy. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
