Grand Guinness Corned Beef

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove Corned Beef from packaging and rinse Corned Beef well under cold running water. If the corned beef contains a small package of spices, discard for this recipe as we will not be using it. Pat the corned beef dry with a paper towel. If you want, you can trim some of the excess fat from the roast. Rub the brown sugar into top and bottom of Corned Beef. Put on a shallow rack in roasting pan and pour the Guinness over the beef, moistening the sugar. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or heavy duty aluminum foil and bake in the 300 degree oven for 3-4 hours, at least one hour per pound. Take from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice into thin slices. Drizzle some of the juices over the meat before serving if you like.

If you have any leftover beef, it makes a grand sandwich with your choice of Irish mustard, fresh watercress (which grows abundantly in the streams of Ireland and is eaten for good health) and some lovely Irish cheese!
