Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ea. (6 lb / 2.75 kg) round/brisket of corned beef
- 3 carrots, sliced diagonally
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- Mixed herbs
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ pint Guinness beer
Directions
- Put the brisket on a bed of the carrots and onions in a large saucepan.
- Just barely cover everything with room temperature water, add the allspice and cloves, and simmer lightly for 4 hours.
- Add the beer, and simmer for another hour.
- Serve it cold on Christmas. Since there is no need to slave in the kitchen this day, the brisket should be removed and pressed between 2 dishes with a weight on top, reserving the juice for hot topping gravy; other days you can serve hot.
