This is, essentially, a Belgian beef carbonnade, made with brisket instead of stewing meat. But the principle is the same: you're braising beef in a slew of onions, using beer as the liquid. What makes this so satisfying is that you cook it ahead of time, cool it, refrigerate it overnight and then remove all the fat. What you end up with is very tender meat in a deeply aromatic sauce.
