Ingredients for Baked Corned Beef Brisket Ala Kevin The Bbqguru

  • 1 (3-4 lb) Corned Beef Brisket
  • Peppercorns
  • Coriander Seed
  • Onion Powder
  • Thyme
  • Paprika
  • Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 bottle Guinness Draught (Optional)

How to Make Baked Corned Beef Brisket Ala Kevin The Bbqguru

  1. Day 1: Rinse the corned beef brisket thoroughly under cold water. Place the brisket in a large bowl or container and cover completely with cold water. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  3. Day 2: Remove the brisket from the water and pat it dry with paper towels. Generously apply your favorite dry rub (recipe suggestions can be found online).
  4. Place the seasoned brisket in a large roasting pan. Add 1 cup of beef broth to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Loosely cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake uncovered for 4-6 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Basting with pan juices halfway through is recommended.
  7. Optional: During the last 2-3 hours of cooking, pour 1/2 bottle of Guinness Draught over the brisket, then reseal the foil and continue braising.
  8. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.
  9. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve immediately with fresh rye bread, horseradish, and your favorite sides.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
