BBQ style Corned beef, Guinness BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard Slaw and Pepper Jack Cheese

By: S.Rosen's Test Kitchen

This preparation takes corned beef and rye in a whole different direction – barbeque! We created a smoky and sweet BBQ sauce using Guinness and crunchy slaw to make this unique creation. Both the BBQ sauce and coleslaw can be made in advance for ease of serving.
