Ingredients

• 1 (3-pound) corned beef brisket
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 large shallots, peeled and halved
• 2 tablespoons pickling spice
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 2 (12-ounce) bottles beer (not light)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Put the corned beef into a large roasting pan (preferably with a lid). Add the garlic, shallots, pickling spice, caraway seeds, beer and whiskey. Cover and place in the oven. Braise 3 hours, turning the meat once. At the end of the 3 hours, add the carrots, potatoes and dill. Cover again and place back in the oven for an additional 2 hours. Remove from the oven.
