This was the easiest and best corned beef recipe I have ever used. It even looked great— and it was only the simple packet of seasoning sprinkled on top. It was as tender and as tasty as could be. I will never boil a corned beef again.

In reply to Jen. In step 4 you cover the meat for 2 hours. Remove the cover and continue baking.

The title is misleading. You do cover the meat at some point in your recipe.

In reply to Steve. Thank you so much, Steve. Growing up that's the only way that we ate it too. More of a tradition than something I looked forward to. Our family loves the way it comes out when baked and it's definitely one of our get-together meals that we look forward to year after year.

Corned beef & cabbage has been one of my favorites since I was a little boy. For the past 60+ years I cooked it like my mom did in a pot filled with water, potatoes & carrots. No matter what cut of meat I used it always tasted the same. Good, but not great. I used your recipe today, and found GREAT!! Thank you!!

In reply to Diana Pringey. That's a great idea, Diana! Doing so would add a great flavor and guarantee those beautiful spices stay on the meat. Thank you for a great suggestion.

I rubbed some Dijon Mustard on the meat too b4 cooking. Turned out fabulous! Tender and juicy! I always use mine for Rueben’s! Yum!

In reply to Patricia. That's a great question, Patricia! I leave mine on but most of them come off when it's sliced. It wouldn't make any difference if you lightly brush the larger peppercorns off because at that point the meat has the flavor cooked into it.

I’m getting ready to try baking my first corned beef brisket. Do you scrape the seasoning packet spices off the top before slicing? Or do you eat them with the crust? I always discarded them before. May be a silly question.
