What on earth did I do wrong?? This was EXTREMELY salty. I did everything according to the recipe directions with the exception of just putting a dash, and I do mean a dash of salt yet it was so salty we just couldn’t eat it. I was so disappointed. The meat was very tender and juicy and it smelled DELICIOUS as it was cooking though. If I can find a way to make it without it being so salty I would. Maybe corned beef brisket is just salty to begin with…I’m not sure because I’ve never made it before.

My family and I loved this recipe (even my 4 year old that will not eat anything). The Corned Beef does have a strong flavor when done so I would not recommend this to someone who likes their food with subtle flavor. One warning is it does not need more salt added. Part of the strong flavor does come from the salt already added to the corned beef. I would definitely make this again. Since this review I made the recipe many times. I also made it in the crock pot and it worked very well. I cooked it on low for 6 to 7 hours and when it had an hour left I added the potatoes and carrots.

My 3.67 pound corned beef took 3.5 hours to cook at 350. “Corned” refers to the beef being cured or pickled in water saturated in salt; therefore, no salt was applied, just the packet. Boiling is easier, but this was a good alternative; however, some corned beef is saltier than others and mine was VERY salty. I “saved” it by soaking it in water until it tasted just right. Soak it for only a few hours – not all night, or it’ll take ALL of the salt out rendering the corned beef essentially tasteless. My family had it the next day for lunch.

RE: CalliCo’s review; you may well be right about the extra water leeching out the salt but a better way to do it would be to soak (changing every couple of hours) in water overnight in the fridge. To much water will still put you into the boiling catagory. I had a recipe for “roasted” corned beef but lost it. We’ve improvised and indeed, it is a bit salty. Soaking helps a lot. Aside from that this is a superior method. Esentially braising. I finish up with open roasting and/or broiling to carmelize the surface. Much more appealling than boiled.

Without a doubt, this is the best corned beef I’ve ever tasted! So tender and moist, we easily cut it with a fork. As with other reviewers I did not add salt. and also did not dice the carrots and potatoes, but cut them into large chunks and added them for the last 1 1/2 hour or so. Additionally, I added cabbage wedges for the final 30 minutes. Everything was perfect.

This was delicious and so much better than boiled stringy corned beef! I put the beef up on a rack so it didn’t touch the liquid and tucked all of the vegetables beneath. I also used chicken broth to flavor the vegetables a little more and then basted the beef with it several times during roasting. Perfect corned beef recipe! Can’t wait to make sandwiches with the leftovers tonight!

I agree that this is an improvement over boiled corned beef. Going forward when I make this meal, I think I’ll cook the meat this way, and roast the potatoes and carrots separately. I’ll keep the onions and garlic with the beef, though. Instead of water I used a combination of red wine and beef stock. For the last hour in the oven I increased the temperature to 350 and removed the foil. It was much tastier than my usual corned beef!

Excellent. This is supposed to rest before cutting but my husband could not keep his hands off it and ate 1/4 of it before he let it rest and cut. The recipe is great just the way it is. No extra salt. I cooked it for 4 hours at 350 and it was so tender. I added the carrots/potatoes/onion during the last 1 1/2 hours. I think I will have to go out and buy another brisket tomorrow so we have some left for sandwiches. I bought some rye bread and swiss cheese but we didn’t have any left for sandwiches tomorrow.

I am so happy to find such a simple and delicious recipe! Turned out really great. In fact I am making it again as I type this review. I put the brisket on top of the cut onions, and used sm red potatoes lft whole with the skins left on. I have a friend that has been a Chef in Alaska for over 30 yrs and she asked for the recipe. Now that’s a compliment! Thanks for sharing.

In all the methods I have tried, this is my preferred corned beef recipe! Much better than stovetop, much better than crockpot, much better than other oven versions I’ve tried! Came out fork-tender, not tough or stringy at all! I think the key is the low temperature, for such an extended amount of time, covered tightly with foil. I followed the recipe exactly, and this was fabulous!!!! I will be making it this way from now on. Thanks!

I know it drives some readers nuts (“its not the original recipe”) but I had to make a couple modifications: ?no spice packet with mine so figured already seasoned-did soak overnight could have changed the water at least once to decrease salt; added some red wine to the braising water for flavor since no spice packet; and, couldn’t fit the potatoes but did add a little celery.
Braising it beat boiling it by a mile! Loved the reciped. My new favorite corned beed recipe! YUM!

BEST corned beef ever! I read online that steaming is the key to a moist, flavorful corned beef so I tried this. I did not cook the veggies with my meat but followed directions very closely. I poured a bottle of dark beer into the roasting pan and added enough water to come up about an inch in the pan. Put the flat cut beef on a rack in the pan and sprinkled the pickling spice packet and chopped garlic over the top. Sealed pan very tightly with heavy duty foil and cooked in oven about 2 1/2 hours (I had a 2 lb roast) Let it rest, sealed while I roasted our garlic red potatoes. When we took the foil off I was shocked at how the meat had barely shrunk, and the beautiful color and tenderness. Tasted wonderful – I will never make a corned beef any other way! No more boiled to death St. Paddy’s dinner for us!!

This turned out really great for me. I used my cast iron dutch oven and only needed to roast it for about 3 hours at 300 (my roast was probably half the size of the recommended one from the recipe). I added some frozen chopped napa cabbage to the bottom under the roast. I ussed a very high quality grassfed nitrate-free corned flatiron beef roast from US Wellness Meats and believe it or not, I actually had to add salt at the table. The flavor was incredible though, and my kids loved it too. But I can see how if you used one of the cheap nitrate-laden grocery store roasts you would not want any extra salt. Still, I’d recommend paying more for the healthier and tastier roast, I will definitely be making this again. YUM!

This is now the only way I will cook a corned beef! Rather than put all the veggies in the roasting pan, I wait until about 2 hours before the roast is done to add the cabbage (quartered) and cook the carrots and potatoes separately on the stove. My husband is Irish and prefers the roasting method over the typical “boiled dinner” version.

Excellent and easy but I did not use salt. I subsituted no-fat/low salt chicken broth for approx. half the water and a tsp or so of crushed red pepper. I probably will never boil corned beef again (tho slow cooker is also convenient and delish). The oven method however, was superior!

To all those having salt problems – rinse your meat really well first and don’t add more. Corned beef tends to be really salty to begin with. My other comment would be don’t bother with the seasoning packet that comes with it. Pepper, some garlic and onion work well. This oven roasting brings out the flavor where boiling it always seemed to make it meh. IMO. This is a great way to cook what can be an inexpensive cut of meat, especially around St Pat’s day when everyone has it on sale.

When making most corn beef boil it in water for a few minutes under a soft boil (5 to 10 min.) Then dump water and rinse beef. Corn beef is loaded with salt and this is a good way to remove. I never salt most of my cooking until its at the table as well not a big fan of adding salt to most foods most have enough in already from other additive.

Having made this meal a few times I found putting in your vegetables half way through the cooking time is enough, especially the cabbage which goes too flaky if over-cooked. They do not require 5 hours of cooking. Also soaking the meat the night before in cold water will remove much of the salt. I wash it several times. Also boiling rather than roasting removes a lot of the salt. I change the water after it has boiled for an hour and you still have enough salt.
The recipe is missing a lot of essential information and tips. -

After reading the comments, I washed with cold water, didn’t add any salt and used Irish beer and chicken broth instead of water. Left carrots in large pieces. Used the smaller honey gold potatoes and halved them. Carrots and potatoes just the right amount of tenderness. Tasted great. Thanks for the recipe
