Ingredients

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground

  • Pour the Guinness and beef stock into the slow cooker. Not over the meat.
    12 oz Guinness Stout, 1 cup beef stock
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 9-10 hours.
  • Gently remove the corned beef from the slow cooker to a cutting board or platter and tent with aluminum foil for 15 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

We prefer the flat cut to the point cut. The flat cut is leaner and lends to more even slicing.
If you would like to add potatoes (quartered) and carrots (cut into 1" pieces) do so after the first three hours of cooking.
Cabbage can be added during the last two hours of cooking.
Storing and Freezing - Let the corned beef cool completely, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to 2 months.
