Chef Lou's Saint Patrick's Day Roasted Corned Beef
Ingredients
For Corned Beef
3 to 4 pound Corned Beef
Bake Pan
½ cup granulated sugar
Method
Take corned beef out of package and soak in water for at least a couple hours(to remove some of the saltiness). Take the corned beef out of water and place on a broiler pan or elevated oven rack. Pour the soak water through a strainer to capture the pickling spice that came off the corned beef when soaking. Sprinkle the pickling spice on top of the corned beef. Roast corned beef in a preheated 275 oven for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Sprinkle sugar over corned beef and cook an additional 30 minutes. Take out of oven and slice. Dig in!
