How to Make Beer Brisket
- Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
- Tear off a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately twice the length of your roasting pan).
- Line a large roasting pan with the foil, centering it and folding up the sides and ends to create a foil packet.
- Place a 3-4 lb brisket in the center of the foil.
- Generously sprinkle the brisket with 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon seasoned salt.
- Scatter 1 large chopped onion (about 1 cup) over the brisket.
- Pour 12 ounces of your favorite beer over the brisket and onion, ensuring everything is contained within the foil.
- Seal the foil tightly, crimping the edges to create a secure seal. Fold the sides up first, then the top.
- Place the foil packet in the preheated oven and cook for 8 hours.
- Remove the foil packet from the oven (do not turn off the oven).
- Carefully open the foil packet.
- Pour off and discard the beer.
- Discard the onions if desired.
- Pour 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce over the brisket.
- Reseal the foil packet tightly.
- Return the foil packet to the oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven.
- Let the brisket rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
