Finally got a chilly day. I picked up a brisket at Costco and
tomorrow night it's dinner thanks to Kay Hartman's Aunt Irene.
I have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the house. Wonder if I should
pick up some Sam Adam's Octoberfest to use instead.
Aunt Irene's Brisket
1 4-pound beef brisket
Kosher salt
Pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup prepared chile sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 12-ounce bottle beer
Salt and pepper both sides of the meat. Place beef in a roasting pan.
Cover with onion. Combine ketchup, chile sauce, brown sugar, garlic,
and beer. Pour mixture over meat. Cover securely with foil. Bake at
300 degrees F for 3 to 4 hours. When the meat is tender, remove foil
and bake uncovered for an additional 35 to 40 minutes. Chill the
brisket separately from the gravy. Puree the gravy while hot.
