Preparation

Step 1

Finely chop garlic in a food processor. Add brown sugar, mustard, oil, black pepper, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and ¼ cup salt and process until smooth. Rub all over brisket, working into crevices. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 to 2 days.

Before cooking, let meat sit out until room temperature, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325°F. Scatter onions in a large roasting pan and set brisket, fat side up, on top. Add beer; cover with foil. Braise until meat is very tender, about 5 to 6 hours. Remove from oven; heat broiler. Broil brisket, uncovered, until top is browned and crisp, for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Let brisket cool slightly. Remove from pan and shred or slice. Remove onions with a slotted spoon; mix into brisket. Taste and moisten with some cooking liquid and season with salt, if needed.

Brisket can be braised 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat, covered, at 325°F for 1½ hours.
