Ingredients
Instructions
-
Season brisket with salt. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill at least 8 hours.
-
Let brisket sit at room temperature 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Combine mustard, brown sugar, and ginger in a small bowl. Unwrap brisket, place on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet, and rub mustard mixture all over brisket. Roast until top is nicely browned, 30 –40 minutes.
-
Remove brisket from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300 °F.
-
Meanwhile, heat bacon fat in a large heavy ovenproof pot over medium heat. Add onions; season with salt and cook, stirring often, until deep golden brown, 8 –10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add flour, and cook, stirring often, until mixture smells nutty, about 4 minutes. Add bay leaf, ale, and stock. Bring to a simmer. Add brisket, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise, turning every 30 minutes, until fork-tender, 3 –4 hours. Discard bay leaf.
-
Transfer brisket to a cutting board and let rest at least 20 minutes.
-
If braising liquid is thin, bring to a boil, reduce, and simmer, skimming surface as needed, until thick enough to coat a spoon; season with salt, if needed. Slice brisket against the grain. Serve with braising liquid.
-
DO AHEAD: Brisket can be braised 2 days ahead. Cover and chill in braising liquid.
Why this Belgian Ale-Braised Brisket works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
