Beer-Braised Corned Beef
r
2.5-pound corned beef isket + accompanying spice packet
1 bottle beer (darker is better as it imparts more flavor)
4 red potatoes, quartered
1-2 carrot sticks, cut into chunks
Salt and pepper to taste
r
Place the corned beef in a large Dutch oven and sprinkle it with the spice packet accompanying it. Drizzle the beer over the beef and then add the potatoes and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and then simmer it for 50 minutes per pound of beef. My 2.61-pound isket took approximately 2.5 hours. Serve immediately.
