Baked Corned Beef Brisket Ala Kevin The Bbqguru Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°.
• NOTE: 3/14 This will be salty. If you would like to reduce the saltiness of your corned beef before baking, please follow this recipe recommendations recipe#361142.
• NOTE: *If your corned beef does not include a flavor packet add 2 T peppercorns and 1/2 T coriander seeds to the dried seasonings listed above.
• Combine the flavor packet with other dried ingredients. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind to desired texture. I prefer medium or med-fine. Set aside.
• Rinse corned beef brisket well with cold water. Pat dry.
• Get out your 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Tear off a large sheet of HEAVY aluminum foil, enough to wrap, tent and enclose the corned beef.
• Place the corned beef on the foil, in a baking dish, fat side up.
• Sprinkle with seasoning mix and pat into the brisket.
• Bring the foil up & around the corned beef, do not close up the foil.
• Bake, unwrapped, for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, wrap the brisket tightly and tenting the foil but sealing it for the remainder of the time, an additional 2 hours. Feel free to check and make sure there is moisture in the foil, re-wrap and continue baking. Approximate baking time is 1 1/5 hours per pound. It may take longer depending on desired level of tenderness.
• Bake to an internal temperature of 185°. Check for tenderness. Continue baking until the brisket is fork tender. It may take additional time depending on the thickness of the brisket.
• Allow the meat to rest before slicing. Cut against the grain.
• I prefer to use an electric knife to get nice thin slices.
• Serve with horseradish, a hearty rye bread, Colleen's Colcanon potatoes, and Irish Soda bread (see suggestions in the intro).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• TIPS in Kevin's own words: Please read first. Process begins the night before the actual baking. Please plan accordingly.
• Here is a recipe that has the proper spice mixture. You will need to soak the corned beef! Between 2 and 4 hours and change the water every 30 minutes. The reason you never hear people talk about this is because it is usually boiled.which takes the salt out. But roasting is a whole different technique. I would leave it UNFOILED for the first couple of hours. This will create a nice bark -- the outside area that will be intensely flavored. Then you can foil and finish cooking.
• Cook it to an internal temperature over 185º. Unless you have a meat slicer and can slice VERY thin, cooking it to 150º will result in a VERY tough piece of meat. The connective tissue needs to breakdown and that takes much time and occurs around 170+º. To test for doneness, use a meat thermometer or simply poke the meat -- use a fork and twist it -- it should offer no resistance.OK, that's about it! Enjoy!
• BEGIN DIRECTIONS:.
• Soak corned brisket for 2-4 hours, changing water every 30 minutes.
• Grind peppercorns and coriander seeds. Add remaining ingredients.
• Remove brisket from water, pat dry and Rub spice mixture on the corned beef brisket.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 250-275°.
• Slow cook brisket uncovered for the first 2 hours. (At this point I add approximately 4 oz of beer) , then cover with foil. You will be slow baking for an additional 1 1/2 hours per pound until done.
• Internal meat temperature needs to be near 185º or above when done. It is important to use a thermometer for this part. If it is above this temperature, now worries. Just recover and keep warm until ready to eat.
• Allow meat to rest before slicing. Be sure to cut against the grain of the meat.
• My personal note: I personally like to use an electric knife for slicing. Slice and thin or thick as you like.
• In the photo: I served with boiled yukon gold potatoes (or baby reds), cabbage and carrots, the dump on the melted parsley butter (melt butter and add chopped parsley).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
• After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Discard any flavoring packet from corned beef. Brush brisket with browning sauce on both sides. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown brisket on both sides in the hot oil, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Place brisket on a rack set in a roasting pan. Scatter onion and garlic slices over brisket and add water to roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until meat is tender, about 6 hours.

Steps:

• Place corned beef and contents of seasoning packet in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Add onion and celery. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Drain and discard liquid and vegetables. Place beef on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; set aside., In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Brush over beef. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 270 degrees F (132 degrees C).
• Rinse corned beef in running water to remove about 1/2 of the salt and trim away any fat. Place corned beef in a baking dish and spread a 1/4-inch layer brown sugar over beef. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) is reached, about 2 hours.
