Corned Beef My Way


About This recipe

I love cooking Corned Beef Brisket the traditional way; it is really simple. All you need to do is cook your brisket in a crock pot on medium for about 4 - 5 hours, depending on its size. Put the corned beef brisket in a large crock pot and cover it with water. Add garlic and onions, cook on high for about an hour, then reduce the setting to medium and let simmer for 3 hours or until nice and tender.

This time, I purchased a brisket that was about 6 lbs, and it could not fit in my crockpot, so I decided to roast it in the oven, and I tell you, it was a great success. It was nice and juicy with lots of flavor.   
 
Ingredients

  • 1 Corned Beef Brisket - about 5 - 6 lbs with Seasoning Packet
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 5 large cloves of garlic minced
 
 Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and prepare a large roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

2.   Place corned beef brisket fat side up in roasting pan. Add diced onions and minced garlic, and add water to cover the brisket.

3.   Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 4 - 5 1/2  hours (depending on the size). Check the package for cooking time. I estimated about 1 hour per pound. In addition, your oven temperatures may determine how long it will take. In a few hours, your kitchen will smell so wonderful.






4.   When the brisket is done, remove it from the pan, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for about 20 minutes before cutting.
