Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
-
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Heat a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil.
-
Sear the brisket on both sides until deeply browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add the diced onion to the same pot, cooking until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Return the brisket to the pot and pour in the beer and chili sauce, ensuring the liquid comes about halfway up the meat.
-
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
-
Braise for 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
-
Remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
-
While the brisket rests, prepare the wild rice according to package instructions.
-
Optional: Skim excess fat from the braising liquid and reduce it on the stovetop for a thicker gravy.
-
Serve sliced brisket over a bed of wild rice and spoon the chili-beer gravy over the top.
