Ingredients

• 1 (5 pound) flat-cut corned beef brisket
• 1 tablespoon browning sauce (such as Kitchen Bouquet®), or as desired

• 1 onion, sliced
• 6 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

3. Place brisket on a rack set in a roasting pan. Scatter onion and garlic slices over brisket and add water to roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
4. Roast in the preheated oven until meat is tender, about 6 hours.
