- Ready In:
- 8hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 -3 lbs corned beef brisket, package juices and spice packet included
- 2 medium onions, peeled and cut in 8ths
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can young's double chocolate stout beer (or Guinness, if you prefer, but the non-bitter Young's is really nice)
- 1⁄2 large red onion, sliced thinly
directions
- Peel and cut the medium onions (whatever type you prefer, white or yellow etc) into 8ths, and place them in the bottom of your crock pot.
- Open up the packaged corned beef and pour all of the juices contained in the bag into the crock pot (the producer's directions recommend using the juices, as well).
- Place the corned beef on top of the onions, then sprinkle with the spice packet.
- Pour the beef broth over the corned beef, careful not to dislodge too much of the spice packet ingredients, then do the same with the can of stout.
- Arrange the sliced red onion over the top of the beef.
- Put the crock pot on low and cook for 4 hours, then turn the beef over and cook an additional 4 hours (or you can cook on high for 2, turn, and cook an additional 2 or until it is as tender as you'd like).
- Slice and serve with Simmered Cabbage recipe #100417, carrots, and potatoes of your choice.
- Note: although you can use Guiness in this instead of the Young's, I recommend trying to find the double chocolate stout because of the delicious, rich, non-bitter taste it imparts to the corned beef! If you'd still like to experience the richness of a bit of chocolate, take 1 1/2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix it with a bit the beef broth until it's well mixed and smooth, then whisk it into the rest of the broth and proceed as the recipe describes. Wonderful!

This was excellent! I loved the flavor of the chocolate stout with the corned beef. I served it with carrots, potatoes, and cabbage cooked in Goya ham boullion. This will be my go-to recipe for corned beef and cabbage. Thanks! -
I cooked a 5 lb. corned beef in the crockpot using this recipe, it was delicious and had a great, complex flavor. My husband absolutely loved it! Will definitely make again. -
OMG! this was amazing! I've never tried making corned beef and decided on your recipe. Am I glad I did!!! Can't imagine waiting for St. Patrick's day to have this again! I've been to Katz's in NY and this is fabulous...now...to somehow get the recipe for the Katz mustard!

Tried this for the first time last year when corned beef briskets on sale & LOVED it. Couldn't find Youngs Dbl chocolate and used Guiness but since then have located a source for the Youngs (World Market) and have bought 3 btls to use this spring. -
My family really liked this recipe. Couldn't find chocolate stout so I used Murphy's stout and added a tablespoon of high quality cocoa. Flavor was great! I took the leftover juices and onions and saved for a stew that was thumbs up too. I will be making this recipe again! Thanks!

<p>It's simply this: I love to cook! :) <br /><br />I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. <br /><br />I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! <br /><br />My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. <br /><br />My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? <br /><br />Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) <br /><br />I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. <br /><br />Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. <br /><br />Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.</p>
