Braised Corned Beef

This corned beef is baked in the oven for 6 hours so it doesn't take as much time as the slow cooker. It's tender and delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning. It's my go-to recipe for St. Patrick's Day!

Ingredients

  • 1 5 pound Flat Cut Corned Beef Brisket
  • 1 Tablespoon browning sauce (such as Kitchen Bouquet)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C)

  2. Unwrap the brisket and rinse it off. Trim off any excess fat, if you prefer. Dry the brisket with paper towels and set aside.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Meanwhile, brush the browning sauce on both sides of the brisket. Once the oil is heated, brown the brisket on both sides, about 8 minutes per side.

  4. Place the brisket in a roasting pan. Cover the brisket with the onions and garlic slices. Pour the water into the roasting pan. (Yes, 1 Tablespoon is enough water!)

  5. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 6 hours, until the meat is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
