Beer Brisket

Recipe:
2 1/2 lbs. lean beef brisket
12 oz light beer
1/2 cup ketchup
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp tarragon
1/4 tsp marjoram
1 bay leaf

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Trim any visible fat from meat. Place meat in heavy dutch oven. Mix all remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over meat. Cover pan. Cook 3-5 hours or until meat is very tender. Turn meat occasionally and add water if it gets too dry. Remove bay leaf before serving.
Can also be cooked in a crock pot for longer period of time.

Changes:
Used top round, sliced thick, instead of brisket. Doubled the recipe. Cooked in a crock pot on high for 7 hours- meat was still slightly frozen before cooking.

Review:
Rating 8 1/2. It was really a good flavor for the beef. The beer taste came through, but not too strong. Very tender. Great with mashed potatoes. Leftovers are great! Meat also makes great tacos.

Good recipe. "Meat is good."-Chad
