Beef- Beer-Braised Brisket

List of Ingredients


Active Work Time: 15 minutes * Total Preparation Time: 5 hours

1 (5- to 7-pound) brisket
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup chili sauce
1 (12-ounce) can beer



Recipe

* Season brisket well with seasoned salt. Sprinkle or rub meat with brown sugar, then drizzle with vinegar. Cover with chili sauce using back of a spoon. Sprinkle with beer.
* Bake at 325 degrees uncovered 2 hours. Cover and continue cooking until done, 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
* Remove meat from gravy and cool. Allow gravy to cool. Skim fat. Add water to dilute, as gravy will be a little strong. Taste and adjust seasonings. Slice meat, then place slices in an oven-proof casserole. Cover with gravy and seal tightly with foil. Heat at 325 degrees until very tender, another 45 to 90 minutes.
