Oven Roasted Corned Beef

(Point cut is fattier)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Put 1" water (I use beer) in the bottom of your broiler pan.
Place corned beef, fat side up, on the rack above the liquid.
If a spicier flavor is desired, sprinkle the seasoning packet (or some pickling spice) over the corned beef.
Cover tightly with foil.
Cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Remove from the oven. Loosen foil and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Ravens easy brisket:
1large beef brisket (no need to trim fat it will come off easily once cooked)
1 Bottle Stubb's beef marinade (shake well)
3-4 Tbs frenches mustard
1 chopped onion - optional
1/2 cup wine (white or blush)
1/2 cup water
Place brisket fat side down in a very large covered oven roasting pan after you
Coat both sides of brisket with mustard. Pour in 1/2 cup wine and 1/2 cup water. Pour in 1/2or entire bottle of Stubbs over the brisket (it will be more spicy if you use it all) Put chopped onion in and spread it around. No need for added seasoning!! Place covered roaster in oven at 350 for 5to6 hrs (check for fork tender) Check it occasionally while cooking to make sure there is liquid- if needed add a little water. Ladle the juices over the meat a couple times during cooking.
When done remove brisket to platter to cool.
GRAVY: Pour juice liquid into a saucepan; pour off most of the melted fat. In a separate bowl or cup mix 1 1/2 Tbs of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water mix very well. Put gravy saucepan on stove and bring to a lite boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture, continue stirring and heat for about 2 mins.
Serve the gravy over hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
Slice brisket across grain.
*If you want a bbq flavor cook in oven as above for 3 hrs then remove brisket and put on grill cook for final 3 hrs.

Beef Marinade
If you do not want a real spicy brisket just use about half of the bottle.

If you've purchased a beef brisket and want to 'corn' it, you'll need more time for for the brining and spicing process.

I love a good Reuben sandwich.

My recipe came from Good House Keeping oh so long ago.

I'd put peppercorns, other spices in a teaball. Using bay leaves.

Cover the brisket with water, then when it was almost done, cook carrots, potatoes, and then add cabbage that had been cut into wedges and used toothpicks to keep the cabbage together.

When done I'd serve with a special homemade mustard sauce.

Since you are planning on using your brisket for sandwiches, you may not be interested in adding the vegetables. By the way, your corned beef will shrink quite a bit. I almost always wish that I had fixed two.

Does that make more sense, now?
