Braised Corned Beef St Patrick's Day Recipe # 2

I usually boil, or slow cook my corned beef, so earlier this month when I came across this braised method I knew I had to change it up.  Especially since I also had corned beef for Valentine's Day!  I did of course make some alterations as I went but overall the inspiration gave me a wonderful recipe to use in the future and the meat was very juicy and had a nice flavor. 

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3.5 lb Corned Beef Brisket
2 Tbsp Browning Sauce
4 Cloves Garlic Sliced
1 Tbsp Basil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  heat oil in large skillet.  Brush brisket with  browning sauce on both sides.  Brown brisket on both sides in the hot oil (about 5-8 minutes per side.)
Add water to a shallow roasting pan.  Place rack on top of pan and place brisket on the rack.  Scatter garlic basil and accompanying flavor packet on top of the brisket (fat side up).  Cover pan with aluminum foil. 
Roast in the preheated oven until meat is tender (about 30-45 minutes per pound).  Slice, Serve & Enjoy!

Remove brisket from packaging

Brush with browning liquid

Brown on both sides

Place on rack in roasting pan

Cover with seasoning

Cover entire pan surface area with tin foil

Remove from oven

Slice & Serve!

St Patrick's Day Recipes

St. Patrick's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays!  I LOVE delicious Irish food!  With that being said I like to prepare ahead of time and know what I am going to make.  So I have perused the internet and come up with a few delicious snack and dessert recipes that I know I will be making at least one of these this year!  Because I know that I won't have the time or the stomach space to make and eat ALL of them, I wanted to share the best ones that I came across.  I will be sharing whichever one(s) I choose with step by step directions.  Do any of you have any St Patrick's Day or Irish traditions?  Please let me know!
