Ingredients:

• 1 (3-4 pound) beef brisket, flat cut
• 1 package (2.25 ounces) Delimondo Corned Beef Seasoning Mix
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4-5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3-4 celery stalks, cut into chunks

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brisket: Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Trim any excess fat.
2. Create the Brine: In a large pot or container, combine the Delimondo Corned Beef Seasoning Mix, water, brown sugar, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
3. Submerge the Brisket: Place the brisket in the brine, ensuring it is completely submerged. Weigh the brisket down with a plate or another heavy object to keep it below the surface.
4. Chill and Marinate: Cover the pot and refrigerate for at least 5 days, but up to 10 days. Turn the brisket occasionally to ensure even marinating.
5. Prepare for Cooking: Remove the brisket from the brine and discard the marinade. Rinse the brisket thoroughly with cold water.
6. Roast the Brisket: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the brisket in a large roasting pan with the sliced onion, carrots, and celery. Add 1 cup of water to the pan.
7. Cook to Perfection: Roast the brisket for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, or 170°F (77°C) for medium.
8. Rest and Carve: Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
