1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Set a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket, starting fat-side down, in the hot pan until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the brisket from the pan and set it aside.
3

Place the onion slices in the bottom of the same roasting pan; pour 1 can beef broth, 1 can French onion soup, and 1 can beer over the onions. Lay the brisket on top; pour the remaining beef broth, French onion soup, and beer over the brisket. Cover the roasting pan with a lid.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Let the brisket rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5

Remove the brisket from the roasting pan and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Pour the pan juices and onion into a food storage container and seal with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate the brisket and pan juices for 8 hours to overnight.
6

The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the pan juices and onion into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
7

Unwrap the brisket, trim away any visible fat, and slice thinly across the grain. Place the brisket slices into the pan juices.
8

Bake in the preheated oven until the pan juices have thickened and the meat is hot, about 45 minutes.
