How to Make Slow Cooked Corned Beef For Sandwiches

  1. Place the corned beef briskets (2-3, approximately 3-4 lbs each) in a large stock pot.
  2. Sprinkle one packet of corned beef seasoning over the briskets. Discard or save the second packet.
  3. Pour in 12 oz of beer (stout or amber recommended). Add enough water to cover the briskets by 1 inch (approximately 6-8 cups).
  4. Add 4 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1 head (about 1 cup) of garlic cloves, smashed.
  5. Cover the pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  6. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 4-5 hours, checking hourly and adding more water as needed to keep the briskets submerged.
  7. Carefully remove the briskets from the pot; they will be incredibly tender.
  8. Place the briskets on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes to firm slightly.
  9. Slice thinly or shred the corned beef.
  10. Serve on your favorite rolls with brown mustard. Optional: Add coleslaw for a truly amazing sandwich!
