***COOK CORNED BEEF IN (I repeat, *IN*) THE BEER*** This is such a fantastic recipe, I can't even begin to tell you, but the most important thing is to actually cook the meat in the beer-- this not only infuses the meat with the flavors it's soaking in, but it also makes it unbelievably tender. Last year I cooked it in a big pot and added the veggies the last hour-- my husband and his friends were making fun of me the entire week beforehand because they thought I would "ruin" St. Patty's Day by going out on a limb... boy, were they shocked when it turned out so good that they're actually REQUESTING it this year!... my husband has been looking forward to today for the last month! This year, I plan to use my new crock pot since it's been my experience that meat gets even more amazingly melt-in-your-mouth the longer you cook it... Give this one a try! (I've never written a review before, but this recipe is so good, I felt compelled to spread the good news and dispel any doubts others have had!) Was this review helpful?

Wow! Very good! My first time making corned beef and it’s so easy and tuned out so wonderful! I made it with a 2.5lb flat cut corned beef brisket and used 1 can of Murphys instead of Guinness, cooked in a slow cooker for 6hrs. (Note: Murphys is similar to Guinness but not as bitter and strong as Guinness, it’s the Irish stout that I prefer. If you don’t like Guinnes try this recipe with Murphys!) I rinsed the beef under water (too bloody!), trimmed fat off and coated with 2tbsp of brown sugar then placed it in the slow cooker. Poured the stout into a bowl, then I added the spice pack came with the corned beef PLUS additional spice (peppercorns, allspice, cloves, thyme...etc) to the stout than poured the mixture into the slow cooker. At 2.5 hrs before eating, I put on "High" and added 6 halved red potatoes, 4 chopped carrots and 1 chopped onion. I added the 1 cabbages, cut into wedges, 1 hr before eating. This came out just perfect, the house smelled wonderful while it's cooking! The beef were so tender, all the vegetables were a bit over cooked so I'll put them in for shorter time next time or just cook them on low(?). I also made the "amazing Irish soda bread" from this site. Highly recommended!! Please give this a try! Was this review helpful? [ YES ] 122 users found this review helpful Wow! Very good!

Reviewed on Mar. 16, 2004 by JOSHABLETT This is a terrific recipe. I read all of the other reviews, and (with very few exceptions) the only complaint I read was that it's too tough. This is purely a function of how long you cook it; cook it longer, and it gets more tender. Here's what we did... we didn't bother putting the corned beef on a roasting rack. Instead, we put the corned beef, sugar, and guinness in a dutch oven (yes, the meat was sitting right in the beer). We put it (covered) in a 300 degree oven, and then every 45 minutes we turned the meat over. After two hours, we added cabbage and potatoes, and then let it go for another 1.5 hours. When we were done, the meat was a little tough, so we cooked it for another 45-60 minutes. When we were done, we had the best corned beef we've ever had. Usually we smother our corned beef with mustard and our potatoes with ketchup, but we needed neither with this delicious (and ridiculously easy) recipe. It's slightly sweet, but really nicely flavored. Enjoy! Was this review helpful? [ YES ] 70 users found this review helpful This is a terrific recipe.
