Ingredients

3-4 lb. corned beef brisket with spice packet
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1-2 bottles Guinness beer
6-8 small red potatoes
3-4 carrots, cut into roughly 3-inch pieces
1 small head of green cabbage, cored and cut into wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Unwrap your brisket, rinse it and pat it dry before placing it in a large baking dish or cast iron skillet fat side up.
Brush the outside of your brisket with your Dijon mustard and then sprinkle the brisket wit the spice packet that came with the brisket, followed by the light brown sugar. add enough Guinness to your dish so it comes halfway up the brisket. I used one bottle.
Cover your dish with a lid or tinfoil and bake for two and a half hours. At this point, you'll remove the dish from the oven, add your potatoes, carrots and cabbage and continue to bake, uncovered for an additional hour or until the brisket and veggies are fork tender.
Let the corned beef rest for just about ten minutes before slicing it against the grain and serving with the potatoes, carrots and cabbage.

Notes

You'll find your corned beef brisket vacuum-packed in the meat section of your local market. Make sure to grab one with a seasoning packet inside.

I used one bottle of Guinness for this recipe, but any stout will do.
