Dutch Oven Roasted Corned Beef In Ale Bonnies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
• 2. Open the corned beef and remove the Spice Packet from the package. Rinse the corned beef. Blot with paper towels.
• 3. Place the corned beef in a large dutch oven and sprinkle the seasoning packet of spices over the meat.
• 4. Add 1 cup beef broth and the 12 ounce bottle of Pale Ale. Make sure the liquid barely covers the meat. If it doesn't, add a little more broth.
• 5. Cover and place the pot in the oven. Cook for 1 hour at 325 degrees, then lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees and cook for 1 ½ hours more before adding the vegetables.
• 6. Now Add the Vegetables: Remove pot from the oven. Move the meat to the side and add the vegetables. Push the vegetables down in the liquid. They won't be completely covered with liquid. Cover and put the pot back in the oven and finish cooking vegetables another 1 ½ hours. By then, the meat and vegetables should be fork tender but not falling apart.
• 7. To Serve: Slice corned beef across the grain. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place corned beef brisket and spice packet in a large Dutch oven with water to cover. Add ale, onion, chiles, garlic, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 4 to 5 hours.
• Combine brown sugar, cloves, ginger, mustard, celery salt, and caraway seeds in a small bowl. Remove corned beef from the cooking liquid and discard aromatics. Rub brown sugar mixture onto the cooked corned beef while still hot.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the coated corned beef on the hot grill and cook until the coating is crunchy, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a 6 quart Dutch oven, Place the beef brisket, peppercorns, garlic powder, onion, bay leaves and salt. Fill pan with water to cover everything plus one inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Skim off any residue that floats to the top. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 hours, until meat can be pulled apart with a fork.
• Once the meat is done, add the cabbage, potatoes and carrots, pressing them down into the liquid. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Skim off any oil that comes to the surface. Stir in the butter and parsley. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Remove meat from the pot and place onto a serving dish and let rest for 15 minutes. Also remove vegetables to a bowl and keep warm. Slice meat on the diagonal against the grain. Serve meat on a platter and spoon juices over meat and vegetables.

Steps:

• BE SURE TO DISCARD ANY BRINING LIQUID THAT COMES WITH THE MEAT- INCLUDING THE SPICE PACKET!
• Trim all visible fat from the meat- this may take some time (I use kitchen shears to ease this process).
• Place meat in a large Dutch oven and cover with water.
• Add ale, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, a light shake of crushed red pepper flakes, peppercorns, garlic, and the onion chunks to the pot.
• Bring to a boil, then lower heat just a bit and boil very gently, with lid ajar, for 4-5 hours or until meat is so tender that is breaks apart when you pull at it with a fork.
• Keep checking the pot from time to time to prevent boilovers- you will need to keep lowering the heat throughout the cooking process as the liquid reduces, especially in the first hour (It should still be hot enough to still gently boil, but not spilling over the sides of the pot).
• Meat should be very, very fork tender when ready for the next cooking stage and will have shrunk considerably from its original size.
• In the last half hour or so of cooking time, boil the carrots and potatoes in a separate pot of water to cover and cook until fork tender; Drain vegetables and set in a small bowl.
• Remove meat and onion pieces from boiling liquid (discard that liquid) and set into a large roasting pan (I usually pour the liquid through a strainer to catch the onion pieces).
• Surround meat with boiled carrots, potatoes, and onion pieces.
• Combine dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and rub all over the meat surface and sprinkle any remaining rub over the vegetables.
• If needed, make up extra dry rub to coat the vegetables (we often do this).
• Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 325°F oven for about 20 minutes until the top of the meat begins to look shiny.
• Remove from oven and wait about 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices along the grain of the meat.
• Note: The meat will take on a very bright red hue when sliced- this is perfectly normal and is a result of both the brining nature of corned beef and the red ale enhances this color.
• I often make an extra pan of vegetables sprinkled with a full batch of dry rub and include not only carrots and potatoes, but parsnips as well (treat parsnips the same as you would a carrot.) I have successfully half-doubled this recipe when only larger corned beef cuts were available- larger cuts will take longer to boil but the roughly the same time to bake because the baking stage is merely to cook the dry rub into a glaze.
• PLEASE NOTE: If you substitute regular brown ale, then you will not get the same result in both color and flavor (You may substitute another Irish ale or even an Irish lager if you must, but we really prefer the red ale).

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
• Open and rinse the corned beef.
• Place the corned beef in a dutch oven and sprinkle the seaoning packet over the meat.
• Add 1 cup of water and the bottle of Guinness. The liquid should almost cover the meat. If it doesn't, add a little more water.
• Cover and place in the oven.
• Cook for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. It should be fork tender.
• Remove the meat and place on a plate and cover with foil.
• Add 3-4 more cups of water to the juice in the dutch oven and bring to a boil.
• Once at a boil, reduce to a rapid simmer and add carrots, potatoes and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add onions and cook till almost tender. About 7-10 minutes.
• Add cabbage and cook for about 5 more minutes.(Just untill everything is fork tender.).
• Carefully place the corned beef on top of the cabbage to re-heat durning the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Slice corned beef across the grain.
• Enjoy!
