Step by Step Method

Step 1

Tear chiles into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Cover with hot water and let sit until softened, at least 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tomatoes and their juices, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and the drained chile pieces in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in beer.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add brisket and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Pour the chile sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Cover, transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours. Stir in beans and continue baking until the meat is fall-apart tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.

Step 5

Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Slice accross the grain using an electric knife or pull apart into long shreds using two forks. Stir the sliced or shredded meat back into the sauce.

Delicious! The only thing I did differently was cooked it at 300 for 3 hours; only because, I was going to be out of the house, so I needed to start it earlier. It came out perfect. I know cooking it at 350 for 2 hrs would of been fine. Delicious flavor - and, I did use a whole bottle of beer. Great recipe CammieQ
