FOR THE RUB:
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup beef broth
2 cups (1 pint) Guinness Extra Stout beer
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 beef brisket, about 3 pounds
extra-virgin olive oil
6 hamburger buns

TO MAKE THE RUB: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

Press the rub into the brisket, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Allow the brisket to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Generously brush or spray the brisket with olive oil. Sear over Direct High heat until well browned, about 6 minutes, turning once halfway through searing time. Transfer to a braising pan, such as a 9- by 13-inch heavy-gauge aluminum pan.

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a medium saucepan over medium heat. melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and caraway seeds and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ketchup and broth, whisk, and bring to a simmer. Add the Extra Stout and balsamic vinegar. Return to a simmer, then pour the liquid over the brisket so it comes one-half to two-thirds of the way up the sides: don't overfill the pan. Cover with foil and grill over Indirect Low heat until fork tender, 3 to 4 hours, turning twice during the grilling time.

Remove the brisket from the grill. Cut across the grain into thin, diagonal slices. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Serve the meat warm on a bun with the sauce.
