Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350 °F.
2.Put both the beer and enough water to slightly cover the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. Add onions, bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and bring to a simmer. Add the corned beef, fat side up, and push it down, so it is covered mostly by liquid. Cover and put in the oven.
3.Cook for 2 1/2 hours.
4.Meanwhile, cut up the vegetables. After 2 1/2 hours, take the pot out of the oven and add the vegetables. Cover and return it to the oven for another 1 1/2-2 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender. Take out the beef and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
5.For the glaze, combine the corn syrup and mustard. Remove the bay leaves and brush or spoon the glaze over the brisket.
6.Place sliced beef and vegetables on a serving platter. Serve with some of the cooking liquid or with extra mustard or horseradish if desired.
