Guinness Corned Beef

This Guinness corned beef with brown sugar is a tasty St. Patrick's Day treat. I discovered it while attending an Irish Rovers concert. My family and friends insist it is a staple at get-togethers any time of the year. Braise this corned beef slowly at a low setting for melt-in-your-mouth delight. The aroma is fantastic!

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 4 pounds corned beef brisket

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness(r))


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. Rinse brisket thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towels and place on a rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub brown sugar all over brisket. Pour beer around and gently over brisket to wet sugar.

  3. Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of brisket should read at least 190 degrees F (88 degrees C). Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips

During the last hour of cooking, you may add vegetables to the roasting pan. Try a wedge of cabbage, new potatoes, onion, carrots, etc. You may need to add a little more beer with the vegetables.
