Corned Beef Recipe with Guinness Onion Gravy
I hope I am doing justice to my favorite Irish restaurant and pub, Meg O’Malley’s. I went to this establishment all the time when I went to college in Melbourne, Florida. Not only do they have great live music but they have amazing Irish fare; anything from Corned Beef and cabbage, Irish Bangers and Mash, and my favorite appetizer, thick French fries with Guinness gravy.
I had such a taste for this gravy last month when St. Patrick’s Day came around. Note it is the middle of April when I write this. Well, I happened to stroll by the meat section of the grocery store and notice they have an excess of packaged corned beef for sale, more like clearance, because no one really bought it during the holiday. In my area corned beef goes for about $5.99/pound but I bought mine for $1.80/pound; a 4 pound corned beef brisket for $9.00. Yeah, I know, you are jealous! So I bought as many as my credit card would allow; 4 briskets. So I cooked 1 and froze the rest.
