There are a lot of great ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and a great corned beef recipe just happens to be one of our favorites. This year, put away that slow-cooker and instead pull out your PK Grill & Smoker for a great smoked corned beef recipe courtesy of howtobbqright.com.

Ingredients:

• Corn beef brisket (choose the flat portion for better slicing)
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Garlic
• Water
• Potatoes
• Onions
• Baby Carrots

Instructions:

• Rinse corned beef brisket under cool water, remove surface brine and pat dry
• Season with salt, black pepper and garlic on all sides, set aside for 30 minutes
• While seasonings set in, prepare PK Grill & Smoker to about 250 degrees
  
• When PK is ready, smoke the corned beef brisket for two hours
• After two hours, place the corn beef if a large pan of 32oz water to draw out some of the salty brine. The steam treatment will make the corned beef tender
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and smoke for another 1½ hours
• While the corned beef is smoking, prepare vegetables: potatoes, onions and whole baby carrots
• Once the brisket has smoked for 3 ½ hours, it is time to add the chopped vegetables
• Once vegetables are added, re-cover the pan and cook for another 1-1½ hours, or until final temperature is 195 degrees
• Let sit for about 15 minutes, slice brisket and serve
