Ingredients for Baked Corned Beef Brisket

- Corned Beef
- 1 tablespoon onion powder (if no seasoning packet)
- Thyme Leaves
- Paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (if no seasoning packet)
- Aluminum Foil
How to Make Baked Corned Beef Brisket
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, in a large roasting pan.
- 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).
- Generously rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
- Pour 2 cups of beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- 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.
- Slice the brisket against the grain and serve. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
