Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 270°F (132°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Rinse the corned beef under cold running water to remove excess salt, taking care not to eliminate all the brine. Pat dry with paper towels. Trim away any large pieces of surface fat, leaving a thin layer for flavor. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Place the corned beef in a baking dish just large enough to hold it snugly. Pack the dark brown sugar evenly over the top surface of the brisket, creating a sweet crust. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or slightly higher for more well-done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (120 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the corned beef rest, covered, for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful result. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Discard any accumulated liquid in the baking dish. Slice the corned beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the brown sugar before spreading it over the brisket.
If the brown sugar starts to burn during baking, gently tent the foil to create an air gap and prevent further browning.
Leftover corned beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying it out.

    This recipe is a game-changer! So easy and the corned beef was incredibly tender.

  • Alan Klein

    The brown sugar crust is what makes this recipe special. It adds a delicious sweetness that balances the saltiness of the corned beef perfectly.

  • Edd Stiedemann

    I was skeptical about only using two ingredients, but the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again!
