- 3 lbs corned beef brisket
- 12 oz Guinness Stout
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 bay leaves

Place the corned beef brisket (fat side up), in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the seasoning packet ( comes in the corned beef package), garlic, bay leaves, and pepper over the meat. Rub the seasonings gently over the top.
3 lbs corned beef brisket, 2 cloves garlic, 2 bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
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.
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.
