I cook my share of brisket.
In the Grillmaster Test post, I declare that you cannot be the neighborhood Grillmaster until you can make a mean brisket on the grill. In Rollin’ With the Irish, CBH Test and Bill’s Corned Beef, brisket is made into corned beef and then put into a recipe. For a cut that needs to take quite a while to cook, it sure is versatile. Here is another great way to make it – in the slow cooker.
With some carmelized onion….yum!
I actually bought one that was 7 pounds. I cut it in half (put the other half in the freezer) and trimmed the fat off of one side. I decided to leave it on the other to flavor the pot.
The marinade.

Yum, this looks and sounds, delicious!

Sounds like something I’d like to try since I have all ingredients but the beef and beer on hand!
Think I’d probably go with a little Newcastle Brown Ale though, carbs be damned.

Man oh man does this sound good… and I haven’t used my slow cooker in ages! Seems like a good excuse to break it out.

Brisket looks good, though I wouldn’t be concerned about carbs. Sodium yes, but not carbs – they are essential.
