-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 cup brown sugar
1 can or bottle -- (12 fluid ounce)
Irish stout beer

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Rinse the beef completely
and pat dry.

Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown
sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour
the bottle of stout beer around, and gently over the beef to wet the
sugar.

Cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Allow to rest 5
minutes before slicing.

Editor's Note:
During the last hour, you may put vegetables in the roasting pan as well.
Try a wedge of cabbage, new potatoes, onion, carrots, etc. You may need to
add a little more beer with your vegetables.

NOTES : Made this on 3/17/04 (St. Paddy's Day!). It was real
good. I used Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer. When it was done
I trimmed off all the fat and put it back in the oven on a
rack (no liquid) and browned it -- 500 degrees for 15
minutes.
