Diabetes Recipe - Brisket

I was looking for a diabetic friendly Brisket recipe for an upcoming grill out and came across this one on the Diabetic Living On Line web site and it sounded delicious. I'll be giving it a try.

Brisket in Ale
The flavorful gravy -- made from the beer-spiked cooking liquid -- is the finishing touch to this tender meat dish.
SERVINGS: 10 servings
CARB GRAMS PER SERVING: 6

1     3- to 4-pound fresh beef brisket
2     medium onions, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1      bay leaf
1     12-ounce can beer
1/4     cup chili sauce
2     tablespoons no-calorie, heat-stable, granular sugar substitute (Splenda)
1/2     teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4     teaspoon salt
1/4     teaspoon black pepper
1     clove garlic, minced
2     tablespoons cornstarch
2     tablespoons cold water

1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut brisket to fit into a 3-1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. In the cooker place onions, bay leaf, and brisket. In a medium bowl combine beer, chili sauce, sugar substitute, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic; pour over meat in cooker.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

3. Using a slotted spoon, tansfer meat and onions to a platter; keep warm. Discard bay leaf.

4. For gravy: Skim fat from cooking liquid. Measure 2-1/2 cups of the cooking liquid; discard remaining cooking liquid. In a medium saucepan stir together the cornstarch and cold water; stir in the 2-1/2 cups cooking liquid. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Pass gravy with meat. Makes 10 servings.
