It’s not St. Paddy’s Day without corned beef! This roasted recipe is one of our favorites; it’s super moist and tender, with a unique spice blend!

Ingredients:

3 lb. corned beef brisket

1/2 tsp. whole allspice berries

1/2 tsp. coriander seeds

1/2 tsp. whole cloves

1/4 c. brown sugar 

2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Trim excess fat from beef and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and place fat side up in large roasting pan fitted with a roasting rack.
2. In a medium bowl with the end of a wooden spoon, or in mortar and pestle, combine and crush allspice, coriander, and cloves into slightly smaller pieces. (Leaving some whole is OK.) In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, black pepper, and crushed spices. Spread spice mix evenly over top of brisket. Add 6 cups water to roasting pan and cover brisket tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 2 hours, then remove foil and roast until tender, 1 hour more. 
3. Let brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
