Notes

  • Corned beef brisket: I like to use point cut corned beef brisket. Point cut is a fattier cut that's perfect for slow cooking.
  • Beef broth: I like to use no salt broth in this recipe because corned beef can be salty.
  • Beer: I use Guinness. If you'd like to skip the beer, you can use water in place of the beer.
  • Potatoes: If your potatoes are small (golf-ball sized or smaller), halve the potatoes.
  • Onion: White or yellow onion works well. Sweet onion also works well.
  • Butter: You can use salted or unsalted butter depending on how much salt you'd like the dish to have.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
