I'm learning through trial and error that tough cuts of meat must be cooked for as long as it takes to get tender. Use the time given as a guideline and at the end test to see if it pulls apart easily. This recipe is delicious if you cook it long enough.

This is the most amazing corned beef ever! I follow the recipe to the letter and always enjoy the end result. I have always used a crock pot and cooked on high for about 8 hrs., so don't know how the oven version turns out, but the slow cooker version is definitely a keeper! I have added potatoes and carrots and the brown sugar/beer glaze makes them very tasty. Thanks Shameless!

My family loves this recipe. It is so moist and juicy. I do make this in the crock pot for about 5 hrs on low. I typically add 1/2 head of cabbage that is cut in quarters and separated about 1 hr before it's done cooking, otherwise you'll just have cabbage mush. Another thing is that the packaging companies seem to think one size fits all when it comes to the seasoning packet. So we looked at the seasoning packet and supplemented with what we had on hand to make sure it was flavorful.

This was sooo amazingly good. I looked at the comments on this recipe, and read about the person who said to fully submerge the meat in the guinness or else it will taste bitter. I used 2 bottles (they were all out of the cans) of guinness and it still was just barely sticking out. I was really nervous but I didn't want to add more beer. It all worked out though because when I added my vegetables later it all sunk into the beer and the end result....pure tender magic! I love corned beef and this by far raised the bar. I will definitely be making this again and again and again.

Very delicious. I added red potatoes, cabbage, and carrots for the last hour. Maybe next time I will try it in the slow cooker.

I really did not care for this at all. I could taste the Guiness and it wasn't what I was used to with corned beef. Next year will try something else.

I have made this recipe many times over the past 7 yrs since I first found it in AR. It is the best corned beef I have ever had. The brown sugar and beer mix with the saltiness of the meat while it cooks, and makes the best tasting broth ever. The coorned beef seems alot less salty tasting as well. I will never make corned beef any other way. The only change I make is I slow cook mine in my crock pot for about 8-10 hrs, remove the meat to rest so it can be sliced..I turn the CP up to high and add red potatoes, onion, baby carrots and cook for 30 min, then add cabbage and cook another 15-20 minutes.

Whom ever thought that this recipe was tender must have teeth like a horse. I followed the simple recipe to the tee. It was the toughest piece of meat that can be. I spent $20 on a four pound Sy Ginsberg corned beef. It's boil from now on.
