Notes
Brisket Choice: This recipe works with both a flat cut or point cut, and no changes to time need to be made. The flat cut is leaner, while the pointcut is more marbled.
Beer: Feel free to use any dark stout beer you like, or beef stock if you do not drink beer. The beer adds a great amount of flavor but is not necessary.
Pickling Spices: Most packaged corned beef brisket comes with a pickling spice blend. If yours does not, you can use 1 tablespoon of generic pickling spices.
Gluten-Free Corned Beef and Cabbage: If you want this to be a gluten-free meal, check your corned beef label carefully to be sure the brisket and seasoning packet does not contain gluten. And use an additional 1 cup beef stock in place of the stout beer.
Potatoes: You can use red potatoes, russet potatoes, or new potatoes. Cut your potatoes into 2-inch chunks or leave them whole if using baby potatoes.
Leftovers will store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze the leftover corned beef brisket for up to 3 months.
