Guinness Corned Beef

Corned beef with beer is a tasty St. Patrick's day treat. I discovered it when I attended an Irish Rovers concert. My family and friend insist it is a staple at get-togethers any time of the year. Roast this corned beef slowly at a low setting for a melt-in-your-mouth delight. The aroma is fantastic!

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 pounds corned beef brisket
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness(r))

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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