Best Drunken Corned Beef Recipes

GUINNESS® CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Rinse the beef completely and pat dry.
• Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour the bottle of stout beer around, and gently over the beef to wet the sugar.
• Cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

GUINNESS CORNED BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the beef pouch and place the beef in the bottom of the instant pot, fat side up. Add the spice mix from the pouch to the pot if desired.
• Pour the entire can or bottle of Guinness into the pot.
• Add water in the pot until the beef is submerged.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot with the vent closed and sealed. Set the cooking for manual, high, for 70 minutes for sliceable beef or 90 minutes for more tender beef.
• Let the Instant Pot finish cooking and let it sit for 10 minutes on natural release (not touching or venting it). Then open the vent and let the rest of the pressure and steam escape.
• Remove the beef from the liquid. If cooking potatoes, cut the potatoes in approximately 2 inch chunks. Smaller potatoes like red potatoes can be left whole. Add the potatoes to the liquid and cook on high for 5 minutes. If cooking cabbage, cut into thick slices or wedges and cook on high for 2-3 minutes. Use manual pressure release (letting the vent open and steam escape) for each.
• Drain liquid from the beef pouch and place the beef in the bottom of the slow cooker, fat side up. Add the spice mix from the pouch to the pot if desired.
• Pour the entire can or bottle of Guinness into the pot.
• Add water in the pot until the beef is submerged.
• Let the beef cook on slow for 8 hours for sliceable beef, and 10-11 hours for more tender beef.
• If cooking cabbage and potatoes, add them to the pot for the last hour of beef cooking. Cut the cabbage into large wedges or slices, and the potatoes in approximately 2 inch chunks. Smaller potatoes like red potatoes can be left whole.

IRISH BOILED DINNER (CORNED BEEF)

Steps:

• Rinse the beef brisket under cold water, and place in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the roast by 6 inches. Peel the onions, and place them in the pot with the roast. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 30 minutes at a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low so that the water is at a gentle boil, cover, and cook for 3 1/2 hours.
• Remove the lid from the brisket. Remove onions, and cut into wedges. Return them to the pot. Add carrots to the pot, then place the cabbage over the roast. Place the potatoes on top of the cabbage. Place the lid back on the pot, and cook for another 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. The potatoes should be immersed in the water by now, but if not, keep the lid on so they can steam.
• Remove the vegetables from the pot, and place in a separate serving bowl. Keep the corned beef in the pot until ready to slice and serve because it dries out quickly.

SLOW-COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker, pour in the water, and place the brisket on top of the vegetables. Pour the beer over the brisket. Sprinkle on the spices from the packet, cover, and set the cooker on High.
• Cook the brisket for about 8 hours. An hour before serving, stir in the cabbage and cook for 1 more hour.
