Yield 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup kosher salt, plus more
1 8-10-lb. untrimmed flat-cut brisket
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 12 ounce can lager

Steps:

  • Finely chop garlic in a food processor. Add brown sugar, mustard, oil, black pepper, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and 1/4 cup salt and process until smooth. Rub all over brisket, working into crevices. Wrap in plastic; chill 1-2 days. Let meat sit out until room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325°. Scatter onions in a large roasting pan and set brisket, fat side up, on top. Add beer; cover with foil. Braise until meat is very tender, 5-6 hours. Remove from oven; heat broiler. Broil brisket, uncovered, until top is browned and crisp, 5-10 minutes.
  • Let brisket cool slightly. Remove from pan and shred or slice. Remove onions with a slotted spoon; mix into brisket. Taste and moisten with some cooking liquid and season with salt, if needed.
  • Do ahead: Brisket can be braised 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat, covered, at 325° for 1 1/2 hours.

This brisket is fall-apart tender and incredibly flavorful! The beer braising method gives the meat a rich, malty taste that pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.
