Tips

  • Soaking the meat in beer is the key to making it soft and juicy.
  • The dish freezes beautifully.
  • If using tongue instead of corn beef: soak in beer, boil as usual, peel the skin, and slice. Mix into the sauce and bake for 45 minutes at 350°F.
  • For a Rosh Hashanah meal, you can add store-bought deli tongue slices after the corn beef is cooked and serve with rice.
