Ingredients

  • 1 (3-pound) beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (12-ounce) can beer
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle tomato-based chili sauce
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a deep baking dish or roasting pan.
  2. Season the beef brisket generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the brisket fat-side up in the prepared baking dish and evenly layer the sliced onions over the top of the meat.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, chili sauce, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the brisket and onions, making sure the meat is well coated.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, allowing the brisket to cook slowly and become tender.
  8. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes so the sauce can thicken and concentrate.
  9. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  10. Return the sliced brisket to the baking dish and spoon the sauce over the meat before serving.
