BEER-BRAISED BRISKET WITH ONIONS
Clipped from a cooking magazine. I also saw it on epicurious.com. The cook's note associated with the recipe stated: Brisket improves in flavor if braised 2 days ahead, cooled in sauce, uncovered then chill, surface covered with parchment paper or wax paper and pot covered with lid. Remove any solidified fat before reheating. Slice cold meat across the grain and reheat in oven with the sauce in a shallow baking pan, covered, for 45 minutes.*Cover the meat in the liquid as much as you can while cooking to avoid the meat from drying out. I tried to add more beer and balsamic later but it didn't taste the same. I think beef broth or water would have been a better choice to get more liquid for gravy.

BEER BRAISED ONIONS
These onions are great with burgers (try it with my recipe #309195).They can be cooked ahead, cooled and kept in the fridge. When you need them, simmer them gently. When they are hot, add a splash of beer to perk up the flavour.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook until tender.

- Add the remaining beer and simmer gently.
- Serve warm to accompany burgers.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
- Brown the brisket before braising: Browning the brisket in a hot pan before adding it to the braising liquid will help to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the brisket its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of liquids, such as beer, beef broth, and spices.
- Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature is between 200 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and the brisket should be cooked for at least 8 hours.
- Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.
Conclusion:
Beer-braised brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual family meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
