Slow Oven Cooked Beef Brisket
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Can you believe it? People typically celebrate by giving each other gifts and by EATING. They make Valentine’s Day treats and often have a nice meal. Fancy restaurants or any restaurant really, are jam packed. Instead of fighting the crowds stay home and enjoy each other. While you are busy being lovey-dovey, throw this delicious Beer Braised Beef Brisket in the oven. You won’t be sorry!
Cooking Brisket In An Oven
Usually when people think of beef briskets recipes they imagine the grill and BBQ sauce. Don’t get me wrong, that’s tasty too, but my husband just hasn’t gotten the grill thing down yet. And the last time I tried to grill something there was a puff of flames and I ended up burning off all my eyelashes and brows. It wasn’t fun. To say the least, cooking brisket in an oven is the way to go for me. Way safer!
This beer brisket recipe was cooked in a dutch oven. No, it’s not a special oven. It’s a special pot. A very heavy and durable pot that keeps the heat in. Despite it being very dirty at the end of cooking this amazing brisket, it was super easy to clean. It pretty much just wipes clean.
While Your Brisket Is Cooking
This brisket takes about 4.5 hours to cook. That’s undisturbed cooking. No basting. No hovering. Just plain good ole free time! It’s a great time to hang out with your loved one and relax. Maybe throw back a couple of the extra beers you have from making this brisket and go on a stroll around the neighborhood. What could ruin the mood? Warm beer! This is where the BottleKeeper enters.
The BottleKeeper is a stainless steel shell that you insert a whole, ice cold beer into. Inside there’s a neoprene sleeve to keep the beer nice and cold as well as a screw top cap to keep it fresh.
The BottleKeeper is easy to use. Just unscrew the bottom and the top. Slide in your cold beer and screw everything back.
The end result is heaven. No one likes warm beer and this baby keeps it ice cold. Like it should be! Plus the BottleKeeper allows you to take your glass bottles into places like pools or sporting events without fear of breaking glass. It’s a winner!
Once it’s done, it just falls apart. No knife required. It’s mouthwateringly good and makes a delicious Valentine’s Day meal. Although it would be fabulous for any occasion.
Beer Braised Beef Brisket
Ingredients
Dry Rub
- 4-5 pound brisket trimmed
- 1.5 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
Braising Mixture
- 20-25 ounces stout beer
- 4 cups beef stock
- 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3 carrots chopped
- 2 onions chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the dry rub spices. Mix well. Rub the spice blend over the entire brisket, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat oil over medium-high heat in an oven safe dish with lid, preferably a dutch oven. Brown the fat side of the brisket for about 5 minutes, flip, and brown the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
-
Add the onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and mix well. Bring mixture to a simmer. Return brisket to the pot, fat side down. Cover and bake 4-5 hours. Remove oven and enjoy!

Wow! This brisket looks so delicious! I love the BottleKeeper, too!
Thank You for the chance!
Good luck on winning and I’m glad you like it as much as I do!
I am seriously drooling as I read this recipe and look at your yummy photos! I think I need to try out this recipe super soon!
Let us know if you do give it a try! We would like to know how you liked it!
I bet the beef is really tender as well, the braised beef brisket is something I know my friends will enjoy so I will pass it along to them x
It falls apart and feels like it’s melting in your mouth. One of our new favorites!
I will have to pass this along to my husband. He is the grill master at our house and loves using his smoker on the weekends.
Well, I’m glad you have at least one grill master in your home. We are grill master-less haha!
You had me at Beer Braised! This seems like such a great recipe with great flavor!! I need to try this asap!
I’ll tell you what, cooking with beer has become a favorite of mine. I enjoy its flavor so much!
My husband makes a mean brisket in our smoker. It’s much easier to use than a grill. Well, I guess both are easy for me because my husband does it 🙂 This recipe sounds so yummy!
Ha! Yeah, I wouldn’t mind if my husband could get that down so it would be easier for me too 😉
I am not a big fan of brisket but I bet my husband would love the recipe. And this looks like a great waterbottle.
It’s actually not a water bottle but a bottle used for holding other bottles such as a glass bottle of beer. 🙂 It’s still awesome though!
This sounds like the ultimate comfort food for me. My boyfriend loves brisket so I’m thinking of giving this recipe a go for him 🙂
Aw, that’s sweet of you! Come back and let us know if you guys liked it!
I don’t eat meat since I’m vegetarian, but I know that my husband would love this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I don’t blame you on the vegetarian aspect! I have often had an inkling that one day I will make the switch as well. Takes a lot of discipline!
Yum this sounds good. I love recipes that you don’t need to stand there and babysit the food while it is cooking.
I agree! I enjoy cooking but complicated recipes just aren’t my thing.
I have never had Beer Braised Beef Brisket before so it’s nice to be able to add your recipe to my list. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad I can help you out with a new recipe! Let us know if you like it!
I’ve never been brave enough to even cook brisket. And I’ve only had it a few times. I’ll have to give this a try one weekend.
It took me a little bit to work up the bravery to cook it for the first time as well. Once you do though, it will be a go-to meal!
I love cooking with beer! That bottle keeper looks like a great gadget to have. Might look into getting my hubby one for this summer!!!
It would be perfect for the summer! Beer adds such a nice flavor when you cook with it!
What a fun recipe! I’ve never had beer braised beef, but beer brats are a staple in Wisconsin!
I have found that beer is great when working with meat. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
We used to use things like this to take beer to the pool. There were no glass bottles around so this was great. Hope I win!
Good luck on winning the bottle! It sure is handy to have!
The beef looks great but I would have to skip the beer. I don’t drink and don’t cook with it.
I don’t blame you! I have a few friends who are the same way. Non-alcoholic beer would work as well 🙂
This brisket looks amazing! I have not made this in so long and now need to give yours a try.
Feel free to come back and let us know how it worked out for you and if you added something of your own!
this look like a delicious recipe! I love those pots!! I’m looking for new ones! I’m excited to try this recipe out! Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you like the recipe. I love my pots. Can’t remember where I purchased them at though. Good luck on pot searching!
That brisket looks amazing and that bottle is awesome! Love that it keeps your drink colder longer!
I’m glad you enjoyed both the recipe and the bottle. I was pretty excited about both as well!
I have to show my husband this recipe. This would be one that he would flip over. Especially since it is braised with beer. That will push him over the edge lol!
Ha! I don’t blame him! Beer adds such a good flavor to the brisket. Or any meat for that matter! I hope he likes it!
Wow, that brisket looks amazing! I have never made one before but have always heard how wonderful they are! maybe this will be our valentines day dinner!
It’s great for a Valentine’s dinner! Especially because you can throw it in and leave it which gives you more time to get other things done.
I’ve never cooked brisket before but I am definitely eager to try after seeing this recipe! It looks delicious!
I’m glad it inspired you! Feel free to come back and share how it turned out for your first time!
My husband used to love brisket! He’s a vegetarian now (I know…crazy, right) but once upon a time this would have been perfect for him.
Whether it’s for health reasons or moral reasons, either way, I don’t blame him! We are careful about where our meat comes from.
We love using beer to marinate things, mostly brats but we’ll have to give this a try. And yep, a stainless dual insulated bottle is essential to keep your beer cold while cooking.
Oh yes, it definitely is great for marinading. Gives an amazing added flavor!
I have never made a brisket before, but it looks really good! And this insert for the bottle looks awesome! My hubby would love it.
If your hubby is anything like me, he hates a warm drink. Enjoy the recipe!
I love to cook, but I’ve never tried cooking brisket before. I will add this to the rotation!
If you end up making it, feel free to come back and let us know if you made any modifications and how it turned out!
Oh this sounds delicious! I would love to give it a try. I was looking at a brisket at the store a few weeks ago, but didn’t know how to cook it!
It took me a little while to work up the nerve on my first one as well. It truly isn’t as hard as it looks!
Mmmm I want that right now! I am such a brisket girl and that looks so delish!
Revisiting this post is making me crave it again myself. I’m with you on the brisket girl thing! Brisket girl fan club needs to become a thing! 😛
YUM! I love brisket but I’ve never tried making it before. I just assumed it would be way to hard. This recipes makes it look so easy! I can’t wait to try!
Ha! I’m glad I’m not the only one who found it intimidating. I was surprised, once I got it in, how easy it was.
That’s a cool idea — a thermos that you can put a whole bottle of beer into! The brisket looks yummy, too!
The bottle is pretty handy! I always hate warm drinks, it ruins them for me. Glad you find it as neat as I do!
Haha this is great for keeping beer cold! I’m so happy I won’t be pregnant by the summer time so maybe I can use one of these!
Breastfeeding prolongs it even more! lol Cheers to you for having a little one AND for not being free for the summer!
I need to try this and making it inside. I feel like my husband has made this on the grill but not inside?
It can definitely be made on the grill however, my husband hasn’t quite gotten the grill thing down. When I tried out the grill, let’s just say my facial hair took some time to regrow, haha!
Brisket is one of my favorite cuts of meat. I love how it just melts in your mouth.
You are so right. It’s like the ice cream of the meat world. Definitely one of my favorites too.
Omg can we say yum?!!! I just love brisket!!!! Must give this a try! Deliciousness
Me too! It’s definitely not just a man thing 😉 Glad you enjoyed it!
That bottle keeper looks like it would come in handy for me and that recipe? That sounds amazing! Gotta give it a try.
It’s seriously super easy to make. I’m all about making things that aren’t complicated but look it and taste it haha!
Oooh, I absolutely LOVE brisket. And when you combine it with beer? Well, it doesn’t get any better than that! Definitely adding this to my menu plan soon.
I know it’s amazing, right? I hope you try it 🙂
I love brisket, and haven’t ever made it, and haven’t had any in years. This is the kind of recipe I want to make, it sounds perfect!
Try it, Rosie! You deserve it 🙂
This would be a huge hit with my fiancé. I will have to give this a try.
Let me know what you think when you try it 🙂
Oh, this looks sooo good!! I love, Love, LOVE brisket! I have a recipe that uses garlic cloves, lemons and liquid smoke. But I am going to give this a try!
I’d love the full recipe, please. I love trying new recipes 🙂
This looks and sounds delicious!!
Thanks, Donna! It is SUPER tasty! You should try out the recipe 🙂
This is my kind of recipe. I like real, stick to your ribs foods, especially when the weather gets chilly.
That’s the best kind of food in cold weather
Lovely recipe for the upcoming once again valentines.. never tried making beef brisket from scratch before.. Sounds daunting but delicious
I know you can do it. Beef brisket is tasty!
i don’t drink because I don’t like the taste of alcohol , But my daughter in law made ham with some kind of apple cider beer and it was good. No take of beer just the sweetness of the apple cider in it.
When you cook with alcohol it just burns off and you can’t taste it
