Description
Corned beef cooked in the slow cooker with lots of garlic and stout beer is perfect for using in sandwiches or for making corned beef hash.
Ingredients
•
1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket, seasoning packet discarded
•
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
•
4 whole cloves
•
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1 pinch ground cinnamon
•
1 (15 ounce) can dark Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
•
2 medium heads garlic, cloves separated
•
4 bay leaves
Directions
1
Place brisket, fat-side down, into a slow cooker. Cover with hot water and cook on High for 1 hour. Drain and discard water from the slow cooker.
2
Add peppercorns, cloves, cayenne, and cinnamon to a tea ball or spice bag. Place in the slow cooker with beer, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Add more water to just cover the brisket.
3
Cook on Medium for 5 hours. Remove brisket carefully; it will be very tender and may fall apart or break in half. Let meat rest before slicing.
