Tip

Pho- and ramen-seasoned broths are available in cartons in well-stocked grocery stores. If it’s not available, make your own: simmer 4 cups (1 L) beef broth, 1 tbsp (15 mL) fish sauce, 2 thick slices gingerroot, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 star anise in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and discard spices before using.

To cook Corned Beef Brisket: remove Corned Beef Brisket from packaging and place in a Dutch oven or enamelled cast-iron roaster; add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer on the stovetop or transfer to a preheated 325°F oven, and cook for 2½ to 3 hours, adding more water if necessary, until beef is fork-tender. Drain and slice across the grain to serve. Wrap and refrigerate cooked corned beef for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
