Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prepare Brisket: Remove corned beef brisket from the package, rinse, and pat dry. Cut into two equal pieces.

3. Mix Spices: In a small mixing bowl, combine ground coriander, caraway seeds, black pepper, thyme, and ground clove. Set aside.

4. Sear Brisket: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket until browned, fat side down first, for 3-4 minutes per side.

5. Prepare for Braising: Transfer the brisket to a large roasting pan or Dutch oven. Evenly coat all sides of the brisket with the spice blend. Spread the carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage, and bay leaves evenly around and on top of the brisket. Add beef stock and cover tightly with foil or a lid.

6. Braise: Place in the preheated oven and braise for 3 1/2 hours until tender. Turn off the heat and leave the corned beef in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

7. Serve: Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve with the vegetables and broth, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Spice Blend: Ensure the spice blend is evenly coated on all sides of the brisket for maximum flavor.

Resting Time: Allow the corned beef to rest in the oven for 30 minutes after braising to enhance tenderness.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
