What is the best way to cook a corn beef. It is a First cut brisket.
I seem to have lost my touch.
Last time I baked it in the oven at 300 for 3 hours, as per the label on the package.
Time before I boiled for 2.5 hours.
Both times they were tasty but very tough.

I also have an instant pot.

Is my butcher selling me an inferior piece of meat or am I doing something wrong.

Would very much welcome recommendation.

Thank you.

Crock pot. Comes out perfect every time. I put it up in with the bag it came in, cover with water. Put in Thursday morning, take it out Thursday afternoon (like 6 hours?). Put it in fridge. Slice it Friday morning. Reheat on Shabbos.

I don't have an instant pot so don't know if it would work with that but I assume so?

My younger relatives are very into sous vide for corned beef.

I just made one for Shabbos (not sous vide, I have one but somehow not into it). I put it in the oven with a little water overnight, tightly covered, in a 215F oven. It looks very soft and yummy. I made honey mustard dressing to serve with it (we like to drizzle it on when eating.)

I blinked when I saw your post and wondered if I had written it since that was my question last night.

I ended up putting it in the crockpot on low overnight for 9 hours with a bit of seasoning.

Haven’t tasted it yet but I let it cool down and then sliced it. It looks soft and tender.

Open the bag and remove the corned beef. Rinse briefly.
For a 4 pound corned beef, put it into a deep pan with snug bottom (roast should take up the surface of the bottom of the pan so you don't lose flavor).
Add water to almost/barely cover.
Cover tightly and bake at 300 for 4 hours.

If making in advance for a YT, bake for 3 hours. Cool overnight. Slice and refrigerate/freeze. Store/freeze liquid separately as well.
Rewarm in liquid (it will continue to soften as it sits on the hot plate).

Place your corned beef in your instant pot, on the rack, with a cup or so of water. Pressure cook for 80 to 90 minutes NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE. Never quick release meat.

While the pressure is releasing, heat up 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup brown sugar for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 1/2 cup brown mustard, and cook another 5 minutes until somewhat thickened.

Preheat oven to 325.

Glaze meat with sauce, and place in oven for 30 minutes, turning over and re-glazing every 10 minutes.

I just followed a recipe in the BY 2 cookbook- I hope it comes out good! It said to cook the corn beef with vinegar and pickling spice and enough water to cover it for 1.5 hours and then bake with a whole sauce for another half hour.
