Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Rinse brisket thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towels and place on a rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub brown sugar all over brisket. Pour beer around and gently over brisket to wet sugar.

Step 3

Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of brisket should read at least 190 degrees F (88 degrees C). Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
