Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (31/2- to 4-lb) boneless beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pound onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups)
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (not dark)
1 dried-porcini bouillon cube (less than 1/2 ounce) or 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pat brisket dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown meat well on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to a platter.
  • Cook onions with bay leaf in fat remaining in pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer half of onions to a bowl. Arrange brisket over onions in pot, then top with remaining onions. Add beer, bouillon cube, and vinegar (liquid should come about halfway up sides of meat) and bring to a boil.
  • Cover pot and braise in middle of oven until meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Cool in sauce, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Transfer brisket to a clean cutting board. Skim off any fat from sauce, then season with salt and pepper. Slice meat across the grain and serve with sauce.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. The brisket was fall-apart tender and the onions were perfectly caramelized.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover brisket. I made it with some leftover brisket from a holiday dinner and it turned out great.

I thought the brisket was a little tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The brisket was tender and the onions were flavorful. However, I think it could have used a little more seasoning.

I would have liked more sauce with this dish. It was a little too dry for my liking.
