Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb corned beef brisket, trimmed and rinsed
- 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp whole allspice berries
- 1/2 tsp whole cloves
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Trim excess fat from brisket and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and place fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Lightly crush coriander, allspice, and cloves. Mix with brown sugar and black pepper to form a spice rub.
- Spread spice rub evenly over the brisket.
- Pour water into the roasting pan (around the meat, not on top). Cover tightly with foil.
- Roast covered for 2 hours.
- Remove foil and roast uncovered for 1 hour more, until fork-tender with a caramelized crust.
- Transfer to a cutting board and rest 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
Optional add-ins like mustard seeds or bay leaves can deepen the flavor. Leftovers are great in sandwiches, hash, or even omelets.
