Ingredients

  • Brine:
  • A mixture of 3 quarts of cold water and 3 bottles of lager beer
  • Wide slices of 2 onions
  • 1 ½ cups of kosher salt
  • Dark brown sugar measuring ½ cup
  • 5 tablespoons of curing salt
  • ¼ cup of pickling spice
  • Chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons
  • A 5-pound beef brisket with a thin layer of trimmed fat
  • Wood chips for added flavor
  • 2 cups of apple juice, or more if needed
  • Braising Liquid:
  • 1 bottle (12 fluid ounces) of lager beer
  • Large slices of 1 onion
  • Dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons
  • Pickling spice, 2 tablespoons
  • Chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons
  • Optional: Ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon

Step 1

In a large pot, combine water, bottles of beer, onions, kosher salt, brown sugar, curing salt, pickling spice, and garlic. Mix thoroughly until the salts dissolve. Add the beef and gently stir. Use a heavy plate or large bowl to keep the beef submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 days, stirring daily.

Step 2

Soak wood chips in apple juice for 2 hours to infuse a delightful flavor.

Step 3

After 4 days, take the beef out of the pot, rinse it under cold water, and let it reach room temperature.

Step 4

Prepare an outdoor grill, maintaining a temperature of 150 to 175 degrees F (65 to 80 degrees C). Place soaked wood chips in a shallow aluminum pan over the heat source. Smoke the meat on the grate for 2 hours.

Step 5

In a large saucepan, mix beer, onion, brown sugar, pickling spice, chopped garlic, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then pour the mixture into a large roasting pan. Add the beef to the braising liquid in the pan and cover tightly with foil.

Step 6

Increase the grill temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and place the roasting pan on the grill. Roast the beef for 3 to 4 hours until tender. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (60 degrees C) when checked with a thermometer.

Step 7

Once done, remove the beef from the roasting pan and let it cool slightly for easy handling. Slice the beef thinly across the grain for serving.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your corned beef well-sealed and refrigerated to preserve its flavor and tenderness.
  2. 2. Invest in airtight containers to store any leftover beer used in the recipe – it can be a great addition to soups or stews.
  3. 3. Utilize your freezer for long-term storage – simply portion out the corned beef and freeze for future meals.
