Ingredients
Corned Beef Brisket
3-4 lb (Rinsed and trimmed)
Light Brown Sugar
1/2 cup (Packed)
Water
1/2 cup (N/A)
Brown Mustard
1/2 cup (N/A)
Instructions
1
Begin by rinsing the corned beef brisket under cool running water to remove excess brine.
2
Trim away any excess fat from the brisket for a leaner result.
3
Place the brisket in a large stock pot and cover with fresh water. If you have a seasoning packet, you can add it at this stage.
4
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
5
Cook the brisket for approximately 3 hours, or until it is fork-tender, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface. Check occasionally and add more water as needed to keep the brisket submerged.
6
For the crock pot option, place the rinsed and trimmed brisket in a crock pot and cover it with water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until tender. Once tender, proceed to the next step.
7
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
8
In a saucepan, combine the packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
9
After about 5 minutes of simmering, stir in the brown mustard and continue simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
10
Remove the brisket from the pot or crock pot and place it on a roasting rack in a baking pan.
11
Generously coat the brisket with the brown sugar-mustard glaze, allowing it to seep into the meat.
12
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, reglazing the meat every 10 minutes to build up a flavorful crust.
13
Once baked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
14
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
