Brisket Braised in Porter

This hearty slow-braised beef brisket with porter is the ultimate comfort dish for a Sunday lunch or a celebratory gathering. The beef is seasoned with a savoury herb rub before being gently simmered in a rich, dark ale reduction with sweet prunes and plenty of onions. As the meat braises, it becomes incredibly tender, while the porter creates a deep, glossy sauce that is naturally dairy-free and packed with umami.

Making this dish a day or two in advance is highly recommended, as the resting period allows the flavours to mature and makes the brisket much easier to slice. Served with a generous helping of carrots and mushrooms, this homemade classic is a nutritional, protein-rich meal that feels truly indulgent. Simply reheat it in its own juices for a stress-free dinner that will impress any guest.

Ingredients for Brisket Braised in Porter

  • 2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard (such as Colman's)

  • 2 cucharaditas de salvia fresca picada

  • 2 cucharaditas de tomillo fresco picado

  • 450g flat-cut brisket, trimmed but with some fat still attached

  • 2 tablespoons rendered bacon fat or olive oil

  • 950ml (or more) low-salt chicken broth, divided

  • 1 350g bottle porter or stout

  • 6 whole pitted prunes

  • 4 hojas de laurel

  • 2 teaspoons (packed) dark brown sugar

  • 1200g thinly sliced onions (1.1kg)

  • 8 whole garlic cloves, peeled

  • 450g mushrooms, sliced

  • 450g medium carrots, peeled, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths

  • 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon (or more) malt vinegar

  • Heavy extra-large wide ovenproof pot

Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 177°C. 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 475ml 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 240ml 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.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Spoon off any fat from surface of brisket pan juices and discard. Transfer brisket to cutting board. Thinly slice brisket across grain. Place brisket slices in large roasting pan. Bring pan juices with vegetables in pot to boil. Whisk in mustard and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding more vinegar by teaspoonfuls, if desired. Pour pan juices and vegetables over brisket in roasting pan. Cover roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil and cook in oven until brisket slices and vegetables are heated through, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve meat with vegetables and sauce.
