Beer Braised Beef Brisket

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.

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

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 carrots chopped

    This beer braised beef brisket sounds amazing!! Beef brisket is something that I don’t make very often since it can be expensive, so it is a big treat for us! I love brisket tacos too, with some crispy fried onions. 🙂 Yum! Thank you so much for sharing!!

  7. 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!

    • 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!

  13. 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!

  14. That’s a cool idea — a thermos that you can put a whole bottle of beer into! The brisket looks yummy, too!

  15. 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!

    • 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! 😛

  17. 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!

    Reply

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

    Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

    • 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.

      Reply

    • 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!

  29. 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!

  31. 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!!!

  32. 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.

    Reply

    • 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!

      Reply

    • 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!

      Reply

  36. 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 🙂

    Reply

    • 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!

      Reply

  38. 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!

  40. 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.
