A family favorite. We make this at least twice a year. I use 1/2 the called for sugar because it is a little too sweet otherwise
Guinness-Braised Beef Brisket
Tender from gentle cooking, this Guinness-braised beef brisket is a classic preparation made without the usual pot watching. Serve it with grainy, coarse-ground mustard. Use the leftovers in classic Rueben sandwiches: sliced corned beef with Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on sourdough, rye, or pumpernickel bread.
