Ingredients
1 (4 pound) beef brisket, trimmed of fat
salt to taste
1 large onion, sliced
1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 cube beef bouillon
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Season the beef brisket with salt, and place in a baking dish. Cover the entire roast with onion slices. In a medium bowl, mix together the beer, brown sugar, beef bouillon, pepper, garlic bay leaf and thyme. Pour over the roast. Cover with aluminum foil.
