Equipment

  • - Braising Pot: Heavy-duty pot ideal for slow cooking meats like brisket, ensuring even heat distribution and flavor infusion.

  • - Meat Thermometer: Essential tool for monitoring the internal temperature of your brisket to ensure it's perfectly tender and safely cooked.

  • - Chef Knife: Sturdy knife for efficiently slicing through meat, herbs, and other components of your dish.

  • - Digital Meat Thermometer with Probe: For precision cooking; helps you achieve the perfect internal temperature without opening the oven or pot too often.

  • - Porter: The specific type of beer chosen for braising in this recipe, though it's more about its flavor profile than the container itself.

  • - Heat Resistant Tongs: To safely handle hot ingredients and to move items in and out of the pot without burning yourself.

  • - Aluminum Foil: Useful for wrapping portions of the brisket, making it easier to serve while keeping additional moisture intact.

  • - Slow Cooker (Dutch Oven): An alternative cooking appliance excellent for slow cooking large cuts of meat over long periods without direct heat control but still useful if you prefer this method or have limited access.

  • - Meat Mallet: Tool used for tenderizing the brisket before slow cooking, which can help in achieving a more even texture throughout the meat.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt

  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Instruction 1

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Rub herb mixture all over brisket. Heat bacon fat in heavy extra-large wide ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add brisket to pot and cook until deep brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer brisket to platter or rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 cups broth to pot and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot. Stir in porter, prunes, bay leaves, and brown sugar; bring to boil. Return brisket to pot, fat side down; scatter onion slices over to cover meat, then add garlic.

Cover pot; place in oven and braise brisket 1 hour. Remove pot from oven; uncover and turn brisket over so that onion slices fall into liquid in pot. Return pot to oven and braise uncovered 30 minutes. Add 1 cup broth. Cover and bake 1 hour 30 minutes longer.

Transfer brisket to platter or rimmed baking sheet; add 1 more cup broth to liquid in pot, then add mushrooms and carrots. Return brisket to pot. Cover and return to oven; braise until meat and carrots are very tender, adding more broth by cupfuls, if needed, to cover vegetables, about 45 minutes longer. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled at least 1 day and up to 2 days.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding more vinegar by teaspoonfuls, if desired. Pour pan juices and vegetables over brisket in roasting pan.
