Simmering the meat in beer adds a wonderful deep flavor.

Total Time 1 hr 25 mins
- 2 lbs brisket or chuck roast cut into 1-2" cubes
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion thickly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 bottles GF beer
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dry
- 1 tsp thyme
Toss beef in cornstarch seasoned with salt and pepper, until coated. Heat oil in a dutch oven, then sear beef on all sides. Remove and set aside.
To pot add onions and garlic (and a bit more oil if needed), and sauté for 3 minutes. Add 1 bottle of beer, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of pot with wooden spoon. Add herbs, bring to a boil, then add meat. If needed, add more beer until liquid level is just below the top of meat.
Remove from stove and continue baking in oven at 350°F for 60 minutes, or until meat is fork-tender.
