How to Make Colcannon With Oven Braised Corned Beef Brisket

  1. Season the 3-4 lb corned beef brisket generously with salt, pepper, and a bay leaf.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on all sides.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in 2 bottles (24 oz each) of Guinness stout, 1 cup beef broth, and 1 teaspoon of thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Transfer the pot to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  6. While the brisket braises, prepare the colcannon: Boil 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup chopped kale, and 1/4 cup chopped scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.
  8. Skim excess fat from the braising liquid. Thicken the liquid slightly by simmering it on the stovetop if desired.
  9. Serve the shredded brisket over a generous helping of colcannon. Drizzle the braising liquid over the top. Garnish with extra scallions if desired.
