1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
4 cups water to cover
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans amber ale
1 large onion, quartered
4 red chiles
3 cloves garlic
3 cinnamon sticks
12 peppercorns
4 bay leaves
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
Step 1
Place the corned beef brisket and spice packet in a large Dutch oven, covering with water. Add the ale, onion, chiles, garlic, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4 to 5 hours.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cloves, ginger, mustard, celery salt, and caraway seeds. Remove the corned beef from the cooking liquid and discard the aromatics. While still hot, rub the brown sugar mixture onto the cooked corned beef.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 4
Place the coated corned beef on the hot grill and cook until the coating is crunchy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
