This Irish Braised Corned Beef Brisket recipe yields tender and flavorful meat accompanied by hearty vegetables, simmered in a savory broth infused with stout beer.

Ingredients: 1 3-4 pound corned beef brisket with spice packet. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 onion, peeled and quartered. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups beef broth. 1 cup stout beer. 2 bay leaves. 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns. 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into chunks. 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks. 1 small head cabbage, cut into wedges.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 300F 150C. Running cold water over the corned beef brisket will help it dry. Warm up the olive oil over medium-high heat in a big Dutch oven or pot with a heavy bottom. As soon as you add the corned beef brisket to the pot, brown it on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes per side. Put the onion and garlic in the pot and cook for about 3 minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the stout beer and beef broth. Then, add the peppercorns, bay leaves, and the spice packet that came with the corned beef brisket. Bring the liquid to a slow boil, then put a lid on top of the pot. Once the oven is hot, move the pot to the middle rack and braise the corned beef brisket for two hours. After two hours, put the cabbage, carrots, and potatoes around the corned beef brisket in the pot. Put the lid back on the pot and braise for another hour to an hour and a half, or until the vegetables are soft and the corned beef brisket is fork-tender. Take the pot out of the oven when it's done and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, cut the corned beef brisket across the grain. Serve the sliced corned beef brisket with the vegetables and some of the liquid used to cook the meat.

For extra crunch, these beer-braised onion burgers are made even better with crispy onion rings. The onions cooked in beer give the burger patties a rich, caramelized flavor that goes great with them. This recipe is a tasty new take on an old favorite.

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef. 4 hamburger buns. 1 large onion, thinly sliced. 1 cup beer your choice. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup cold sparkling water. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Vegetable oil for frying. Lettuce leaves. Tomato slices. Mayonnaise. Ketchup. Mustard.

Instructions: In a large skillet, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and saut until they become translucent and start to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Pour in the beer and let it simmer until the onions absorb most of the liquid, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside. While the onions are simmering, prepare the crispy onion rings. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sparkling water, salt, pepper, and paprika to create a batter. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350F 175C. Dip onion slices into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with a pinch of salt. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape it into four burger patties. Grill or pan-fry the burger patties to your desired level of doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Assemble your burgers: spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the burger patty, beer-braised onions, tomato slices, and crispy onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve your Beer Braised Onion Burgers with Crispy Onion Rings immediately and enjoy!
