Directions

Prepare the Brisket

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Rub steak seasoning all over the brisket.

  3. Add oil to pan and sear for six to 10 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the brisket from frying pan and place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

  4. Add onions and salt to frying pan and lower heat to medium. Add more oil, if necessary.

  5. Sauté for 15 minutes, until onions are softened and lightly golden brown. Add beer to the pan to deglaze and pick up all the flavorful bits on the bottom of the pan.

  6. Add barbecue sauce and apricot preserves to pan to create a smooth sauce. Pour onion mixture over brisket.

  7. Cover pan tightly with foil and braise for three hours.

  8. Allow roast to cool in pan before refrigerating or slicing. For best results, refrigerate overnight and slice when cold. Slice roast, reheat and serve.

Notes:
Cool completely, preferably in its sauce, then refrigerate brisket in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months. Reheat covered, adding a splash of water or sauce if needed.

do I need to adjust time if I am using a 2 lb brisket?

How do you recommend reheating?

Hi Johanna,
I would probably pour some of the sauce on the meat, cover it tightly, and then reheat it on a low temp in the oven (for example, at 300F for 30 min). Check on it then and see if it needs more time.

Hope this helps!
