My notes in red
1. 1 corned beef (regular grocery store brands run 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, never big enough, in my opinion)
2. 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
3. 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
4. Packet of seasonings from the corned beef, crushed with a mortar and pestle or with the side of a knife blade
5. 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup liquid smoke (Colgin, Wright's, Reese, Figaro, any brand you like)
6. ( I *didn't use liquid smoke )...( I did add 2 tsp. mustard seeds )
Instructions
1. Open the corned beef package and remove the seasoning packet that comes with it. Crush the seasonings with a mortar and pestle or with the side of a knife blade. Combine the crushed seasonings with the black pepper and the garlic powder. Pat the corned beef dry. Rub the spice mixture on all sides.
2. Place the rubbed brisket in a piece of heavy aluminum foil. Sprinkle with the smoke. Close tightly and place in a roasting pan. Cook in a 275°F ( I used 250 F ) oven until fork tender, about 6 to 8 hours.
Notes ( Never used the slow cooker method but that I'll try some other time )
1. Slow cooker method -- Place the rubbed brisket in a large slow cooker and drizzle with liquid smoke. Cover and cook on high about 6 hours or about 8 hours on low. It's ready when the meat is fork tender. Remove excess fat. Slice. Or, chill first for easier slicing. Slice and microwave or steam the meat over simmering water to warm through.
