Guinness Corned Beef
This Guinness corned beef with brown sugar is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day feast. 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!
corned beef brisket
4
pounds
brown sugar
1
cup
Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness)
1
(12 fluid ounce) can or bottle
 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  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.
  Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 ½ 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.
