Brisket in Beer

• 3-4 lbs brisket of beef, rolled and tied (fresh, not salted)
• 6 slices streaky bacon

Take a casserole with a lid, large enough to hold all the ingredients. Line the bottom of it with the bacon, then put in the meat, pack the onions all around, add salt and pepper and the bayleaf. Pour over the stock, beer and vinegar, heated first. Cover tightly and cook at Reg 1½/290° for
