The Braise

  3. Lay the beef on the onions, fat cap up.
  4. Add beer, garlic, and pickling spice. Add water to almost cover.
  5. Cover tightly with the lid and cook for 3 hours in the oven. Flip at 90 minutes, add water as necessary
The Glaze
  1. When the corned beef is almost finished braising, combine glaze ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Remove the corned beef from the braising liquid and pat dry with paper towels.  (reserve the braising liquid)
  3. Lightly score fat side with a sharp knife in a criss cross pattern.
  4. Place in a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush the top and sides of the brisket with the glaze.
  5. Place the pan or baking sheet on the oven rack 6-8 inches from the broiling element. Broil 4-5 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling.
  6. Repeat the process 2 more times, glazing and broiling the brisket for 2-3 minutes each time, until the glaze is caramelized.
