Ingredients

4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 cup brown sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness(r))

Instructions

Prepare all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Thoroughly rinse the brisket, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it on a rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Generously rub brown sugar all over the brisket.
Pour the Guinness beer around and gently over the brisket to moisten the brown sugar.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until the brisket is wonderfully tender, approximately 2 ½ hours. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the center reaches at least 190°F (88°C).
Let the corned beef rest for 5 minutes before carving.
Serve and enjoy this delicious Guinness corned beef!
