This easy CORNED BEEF BRISKET - FROM SCRATCH Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
1 (8 -10 lb) beef brisket 4 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in thirds THE BRINE 2 quarts water 1 cup kosher salt 1?2 cup white vinegar 4 tablespoons sugar 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon peppercorn 1?2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 pinch ground cloves THE SIMMERING LIQUID water, to come up 3/4 to side of brisket 1 teaspoon peppercorn 1?2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1?2 teaspoon whole allspice 1?4 teaspoon whole cloves 4 garlic cloves, sliced
DIRECTIONS
Combine all of the brine ingredients and bring to a boil, then cool. In a huge plastic roasting bag (do NOT use a garbage bag), place the beef brisket, the cooled brine, and the 4 garlic cloves. Make sure that all of the meat is covered by the brine (cutting the brisket in pieces if you need to), tie off tightly, place in a pot large enough to hold it all, and refrigerate for 6 to 7 days, turning occasionally. After the 6 to 7 days, remove brisket from the brine and discard the brine. Rinse the meat thoroughly, then place in a Dutch oven or other large pot and add enough water to come up 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up the side of the meat. Add the rest of the Simmering Liquid ingredients (peppercorns, mustard seeds, allspice, cloves and garlic), bring to a boil and skim off any foam. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, covered, for at least 3 hours, but 4 hours doesn't hurt anything. Meat will be SO tender and delicious!
