Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
One 2-pound beef brisket, fat cap trimmed, sinew removed
4 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 ounces pale ale
Sliced white bread, for serving
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • For the brisket: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the brisket with Miss Brown's House Seasoning. Sear the brisket fat-side down until a deep golden crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and sear other side until deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray.
  • Add the onions and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir until coated in fat. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Put the brisket on top of the onions, cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
  • For the BBQ sauce: While the brisket cooks, add the vinegar, brown sugar, brown mustard, whole-grain mustard, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, bourbon and cayenne to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth, being careful of hot steam. Pour back into the pan and simmer over medium-low until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4, about 30 minutes.
  • At the 3-hour mark, pour 1 cup of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and cook until the sauce has melted into the brisket, 30 minutes more. Use a knife to test the tenderness of the brisket. It should pierce the brisket very smoothly, with no pushback.
  • Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain. Discard the bay leaves. Serve with sliced white bread and all those slow-braised beer onions. Don't forget about the extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Stir together the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

This brisket was fall-apart tender and had a delicious smoky flavor. The Carolina BBQ sauce was the perfect complement, with a tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor.

I found the brisket to be a bit too fatty, but the flavor was good. The sauce was also good, but I would have liked it to be a bit spicier.
