Chili-Braised Brisket image

This spiced-up pot roast will make you think of a ranch-house kitchen, where something fragrant and hearty is always in the oven. Long, slow, moist cooking (we use beer for the liquid) makes brisket extraordinarily tender. A simple, 4-ingredient spice rub adds a little sass.

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon fennel seed
Coarse salt and pepper
3 1/2 pounds beef brisket
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (root end left intact)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
12 ounces pale lager, such as pilsner
1 pound small potatoes
3 large carrots, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine chili powder, fennel seed, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and rub all over brisket. In a large heavy ovenproof pot, heat oil over medium-high. Cook brisket until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion to pot and saute 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste and saute 1 minute. Add beer and 2 cups water, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil; return brisket to pot, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise until brisket is almost tender, about 3 hours. Tilt pot and spoon off fat from liquid. Add potatoes, carrots, and 1 cup water; braise until meat is very tender, 50 minutes more. Transfer brisket to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, then slice. Stir vinegar and cilantro into vegetables; serve with meat, sprinkled with more cilantro.

The brisket was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
