Beer Braised Beef Cubes Recipes

BEER-BRAISED BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust a rack to the lower third of oven.
• Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and let rest for 1 hour to come up to room temperature.
• Pat the brisket dry and sprinkle it generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch over or braising pot set over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket in the oil until well browned, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip and sear on the reverse side for another 4 minutes. Remove the brisket to a plate.
• To the pot, add the garlic, onions, carrots, celery, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Saute until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, chicken stock and beer, and bring to a simmer, scrapping up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Nestle the brisket into the pot, making space between the vegetables, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Place in the oven and cook for 3 1/2 hours, or until fork tender. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
• Serve on a platter along with the vegetables and any extra braising liquid as a sauce.

• Strain the liquid from the beef and reserve both the liquid and beef separately. Cool the liquid in the refrigerator.
• When the beef is cool enough to handle, separate and discard the fat, then pull the beef apart. When the liquid cools, skim and discard the hardened fat. Use an immersion blender to blend the remaining liquid, and then add the liquid back to the beef.
