How to Make Baked Corned Beef Brisket

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, in a large roasting pan.
  3. If your corned beef does not include a seasoning packet, prepare the following spice rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  4. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
  5. Pour 2 cups of beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  6. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  8. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender final product.
  9. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve. Enjoy!
