Makes: 10 servings
Prep 25 mins
Slow Cook 10 hrs to 12 hrs (low) or 5 to 6 houirs (high)

Ingredients

1 3 - 4 - pound boneless beef brisket
2 medium onions, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 bay leaf
1 12 - ounce can beer
1/4 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. In the cooker, combine onion and bay leaf; add meat. In a medium bowl, combine beer, chili sauce, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour over meat.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and onion to a serving platter. Slice meat across the grain; cover and keep warm. Discard bay leaf.
For gravy, pour enough of the cooking liquid into a 4-cup glass measuring cup to equal 2 1/2 cups; skim off fat. Discard the remaining cooking liquid. In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch and the cold water; stir in the 2 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve meat and onion with gravy.
