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!

February 6, 2017 at 10:36 amI 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
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:40 pmIt falls apart and feels like it’s melting in your mouth. One of our new favorites!
thecoffeemom0617
February 6, 2017 at 10:55 amI 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.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:42 pmWell, I’m glad you have at least one grill master in your home. We are grill master-less haha!

February 6, 2017 at 11:03 amYou had me at Beer Braised! This seems like such a great recipe with great flavor!! I need to try this asap!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:39 pmI’ll tell you what, cooking with beer has become a favorite of mine. I enjoy its flavor so much!
Marcie
February 6, 2017 at 11:38 amMy 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:41 pmHa! Yeah, I wouldn’t mind if my husband could get that down so it would be easier for me too 😉
Mandy Carter
February 6, 2017 at 12:00 pmI am not a big fan of brisket but I bet my husband would love the recipe. And this looks like a great waterbottle.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:43 pmIt’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!
courteneynoonan
February 6, 2017 at 12:42 pmThis sounds like the ultimate comfort food for me. My boyfriend loves brisket so I’m thinking of giving this recipe a go for him 🙂
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:44 pmAw, that’s sweet of you! Come back and let us know if you guys liked it!

February 6, 2017 at 1:43 pmI don’t eat meat since I’m vegetarian, but I know that my husband would love this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:45 pmI 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!
Janel
February 6, 2017 at 2:37 pmYum this sounds good. I love recipes that you don’t need to stand there and babysit the food while it is cooking.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:44 pmI agree! I enjoy cooking but complicated recipes just aren’t my thing.

Everyday Made Fresh
February 6, 2017 at 6:31 pmI’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.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:38 pmIt 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!

February 6, 2017 at 6:58 pmI love cooking with beer! That bottle keeper looks like a great gadget to have. Might look into getting my hubby one for this summer!!!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:35 pmIt would be perfect for the summer! Beer adds such a nice flavor when you cook with it!
Lydia
February 6, 2017 at 8:22 pmWhat a fun recipe! I’ve never had beer braised beef, but beer brats are a staple in Wisconsin!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:36 pmI have found that beer is great when working with meat. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
planningthemagic
February 6, 2017 at 8:49 pmWe 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:34 pmGood luck on winning the bottle! It sure is handy to have!
Debra
February 6, 2017 at 10:58 pmThe beef looks great but I would have to skip the beer. I don’t drink and don’t cook with it.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:33 pmI don’t blame you! I have a few friends who are the same way. Non-alcoholic beer would work as well 🙂

February 7, 2017 at 9:25 amThis brisket looks amazing! I have not made this in so long and now need to give yours a try.

Tabitha Shakespeare
February 7, 2017 at 10:27 amThat brisket looks amazing and that bottle is awesome! Love that it keeps your drink colder longer!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:29 pmI’m glad you enjoyed both the recipe and the bottle. I was pretty excited about both as well!
Dawn McAlexander
February 7, 2017 at 10:31 amI 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:28 pmHa! 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!
bigfitfam
February 7, 2017 at 10:42 amWow, 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:26 pmIt’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.

February 7, 2017 at 11:18 amI’ve never cooked brisket before but I am definitely eager to try after seeing this recipe! It looks delicious!

Ashley @ Far Beyond Love
February 7, 2017 at 12:01 pmMy 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.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:23 pmWhether it’s for health reasons or moral reasons, either way, I don’t blame him! We are careful about where our meat comes from.
Traveling Well For Less
February 7, 2017 at 12:06 pmWe 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.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:22 pmOh yes, it definitely is great for marinading. Gives an amazing added flavor!
Heather
February 7, 2017 at 1:46 pmI have never made a brisket before, but it looks really good! And this insert for the bottle looks awesome! My hubby would love it.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:21 pmIf your hubby is anything like me, he hates a warm drink. Enjoy the recipe!
Amie @ Busy Bliss
February 7, 2017 at 2:47 pmI love to cook, but I’ve never tried cooking brisket before. I will add this to the rotation!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 2:01 pmIf you end up making it, feel free to come back and let us know if you made any modifications and how it turned out!
reesann723
February 7, 2017 at 3:53 pmOh 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 1:57 pmIt 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!
Kristin
February 7, 2017 at 4:41 pmMmmm I want that right now! I am such a brisket girl and that looks so delish!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 1:56 pmRevisiting 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! 😛
almostindianwife
February 7, 2017 at 10:25 pmYUM! 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 1:54 pmHa! 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.
Jennifer Marx (JenuineMom)
February 8, 2017 at 7:51 amThat’s a cool idea — a thermos that you can put a whole bottle of beer into! The brisket looks yummy, too!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 1:44 pmThe bottle is pretty handy! I always hate warm drinks, it ruins them for me. Glad you find it as neat as I do!
Chelsea | New Kid on The Blog
February 8, 2017 at 10:20 amHaha 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!
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 1:39 pmBreastfeeding prolongs it even more! lol Cheers to you for having a little one AND for not being free for the summer!
Rachel Catherine
February 8, 2017 at 3:15 pmI need to try this and making it inside. I feel like my husband has made this on the grill but not inside?
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 12:51 pmIt 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!
Blythe Alpern
February 8, 2017 at 3:37 pmBrisket is one of my favorite cuts of meat. I love how it just melts in your mouth.
Krystle
February 14, 2017 at 12:33 pmYou are so right. It’s like the ice cream of the meat world. Definitely one of my favorites too.
