For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the corned beef in the ale and spice mixture overnight before cooking. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can broil the coated corned beef in the oven until the crust is caramelized. Serve with traditional sides like cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large Dutch oven, combine the corned beef brisket and spice packet with 4 cups of water, enough to cover the meat. Add the amber ale, quartered onion, red chiles, garlic cloves, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and bay leaves. (5 minutes)
02
StepBring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 4 to 5 hours, or until the corned beef is very tender. (4-5 hours)
03
StepIn a small bowl, thoroughly combine the brown sugar, ground cloves, ground ginger, ground mustard, celery salt, and caraway seeds. (2 minutes)
04
StepRemove the cooked corned beef from the Dutch oven and discard the aromatics from the cooking liquid. While the corned beef is still hot, generously rub the brown sugar mixture all over its surface, ensuring an even coating. (5 minutes)
05
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
06
StepPlace the coated corned beef on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the coating is caramelized and crunchy, about 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (5-10 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. (10 minutes)
