  • Completed step 1 medium yellow onion, minced
  • Completed step 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Completed step 1 teaspoon caraway seed
  • Completed step 120 millilitres ketchup

  • Completed step 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
 
  • Completed step Kosher salt
  • Completed step Freshly ground black pepper
  • Completed step 6 hamburger buns, split

Special Equipment

  • 33-by-23-centimetre heavy-gauge aluminum pan

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
  • Press the rub into the brisket, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over high heat (230ºC to 290ºC).
  • Allow the brisket to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling. Generously brush the brisket with oil. Sear over direct heat, with the lid closed, until well browned, about 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a braising pan, such as a 33 × 23 centimetre heavy-gauge aluminum pan.
  • Decrease the temperature of the grill to low heat (120ºC to 180ºC). In a medium saucepan over medium heat on the stove, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and caraway seed; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ketchup and broth, whisk and bring to a simmer. Add the beer and balsamic vinegar. Return to a simmer, then pour the liquid over the brisket so it comes one-half to two-thirds of the way up the sides; don’t overfill the pan. Cover with foil and grill overindirect low heat, with the lid closed, until fork-tender, 3 to 4 hours, turning the brisket over twice. If using a charcoal grill, replenish the charcoal as needed to maintain a steady temperature between 120ºC to 180ºC, adding 8 to 10 unlit briquettes after every 45 minutes to 1 hour of cooking time. Leave the lid off the grill for about 5 minutes to help the new briquettes light.
  • Remove the brisket from the grill. Remove the brisket from the pan and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes; reserve the cooking liquid to serve as a sauce. Cut across the grain into thin, diagonal slices. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Serve the meat warm on a bun with the sauce.
