Recipes Main Dishes Beef Corned Beef Recipes Braised Corned Beef Brisket 4.8 (1,047) 917 Reviews 133 Photos This corned beef brisket recipe was given to my mother-in-law and it has become a treasured family recipe. The brisket is seared in a hot skillet, then topped with sliced onions, garlic, and a drizzle of broth, and braised for about 6 hours for a tender, juicy roast. It's so worth the wait! You have never had corned beef like this and if you try it, I truly believe you will never go back to the traditionally 'boiled' beef. I serve it with colcannon, steamed cabbage wedges, braised carrots, and parsnips. It is our favorite St. Patrick's/Jewish dinner, but we love it so much that I cook it year round.
