Corned Beef With Marmalade-Mustard Glaze

Corned beef is a signature dish of St. Patrick’s Day. Find it in the meat section of your grocery store, usually in close proximity to the more familiar beef brisket.

Follow package directions to make the corned beef the night before, refrigerate, and then pop it in the oven with our two-ingredient glaze the next day. Boil cabbage while the beef cooks for a traditional Irish side dish.

Irish Potato Soup

The Irish love their potatoes, and this soup truly makes the most of this humble, hearty vegetable. Sautéed onions and leeks are cooked with potatoes in chicken broth, pureed until smooth, and then served hot or cold and topped with chives and crumbled bacon.

Smoked Paprika Pork Roast with Sticky Stout Barbecue Sauce

We "dry-brine" this pork before grilling it with a salt-and-sugar mixture to make it extra flavorful and juicy. The Sticky Stout Barbecue Sauce boosts the flavor and juiciness even more.

Beer-Cheese Spread

Start your meal with this tangy cheese spread. Make it with a stout for an added Irish flair. Prep the recipe in advance; it requires at least two hours to chill so that the flavors can blend.

The recipe makes a lot, but you can easily freeze it for up to a month. The dip also makes great grilled cheese sandwiches or a topper for French fries, hot dogs, and chili.

Irish Strawberry-and-Cream Cheesecake

Finish off the meal with a delicious Irish cheesecake. Our strawberry-swirled cake gets its Irish kick from sweet cream liquor. We tested the recipe with Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Black Velvet

An Irish meal isn’t complete without a good beer like the iconic Irish stout Guinness. Black Velvet lightens the dark beer by mixing it with sparkling wine. Serve it in Champagne flutes for an elegant touch.

Shepherd’s Pie

Meat-and-potato pies are popular in both Ireland and Britain. Shepherd’s Pie tops a beef and onion mixture with mashed potatoes; it makes for authentic comfort food.
