Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket, seasoning packet discarded
• 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place a metal rack in a large baking pan.

Step 2

Rinse brisket very well, especially if it has pickling seasoning on it. Cut off extra fat, leaving just some of it. Apply pepper and garlic powder and rub it into the meat. Put brisket, fat-side up, on the prepared rack. Pour beer into the pan and cover with foil.

Step 3

Cook in the preheated oven until brisket is very tender, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove from the oven and transfer brisket to a platter. Cover tightly with foil and let sit for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Use a very sharp knife to slice meat across the grain and at a bit of an angle into very thin slices.
