Baked Corned Beef Brisket is so good. Since finding this method, I haven’t boiled a brisket in over 10 years.
Corned Beef Briskets are brined in a saltwater solution before being sold to the public. Unlike boiling, all flavors will be retained by cooking in the oven, and the brisket can be too salty for some people. If you are worried that the brisket will be too salty, you can rinse the brisket or even soak it in cold water before cooking.
This recipe will work for both the flat and point cut; the flat cut is considered a better cut of meat and has less fat. I usually make the point cut because it is less expensive. I try to choose a 3 to 5-pound brisket since they shrink a little while cooking.
Heat butter or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the brisket for 5-8 minutes per side.
Preheat oven to 275°. Place the brisket on a rack in a roasting pan, and place 2 Tablespoons of water in the bottom of the pan. The pickling spice packet that comes with the brisket can be sprinkled on top if you’d like. Cover the brisket with sliced or minced garlic and onion slices.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Don’t be tempted to check on it while cooking; you will cause the steam to escape, which could result in dry meat. On average, you will want to cook for 1 hour and 10-20 minutes per pound. The meat will be fall-apart fork fork-tender when done.
Serving suggestions: goes wonderfully with Baked Cabbage Steaks and Easy White Soda Bread.
