Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400. Combine beer, cranberry sauce, ketchup, and flour in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Rub brisket with garlic, salt, pepper and generous amount of paprika.

Heat oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add brisket and sear 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until brown. Remove from pot. Add onions to pot; saute 8 minutes or until tender and brown. Stir frequently to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Place onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan and top with brisket. Pour the beer mixture over the meat. Bake covered for 3 hours. Cool for 30 minutes and slice across the grain.
