Ingredients

• brown sugar – breaks down the muscle fibers in the meat
• whole yellow mustard seeds – a spicy mustard flavor
• onion powder – gives the rub a hint of onion
• garlic powder – provides depth
• smoked paprika – adds smoked flavor throughout the meat
• salt and pepper – the basic spice of life
• pickling spice – contains peppercorns, bay leaves, coriander seeds and allspice berries

Making the Dry Rub

1 – Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended.

2 – On a cutting board or sheet pan, slather the dry rub over the entire beef brisket. Use a generous amount of rub and work it into all of the muscle fibers with your hands. Rub the spices into the fat side of the meat as well.

3 – Cover brisket with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight if possible. If you don't have time for this step, you can proceed to the cooking process and pour dark beer into the pot!

Cooking Corned Beef

Be sure to see my recipe for Dutch Oven Corned Beef to get step by step instructions on how to bake the perfect corned beef dinner in the oven!

There are several methods of cooking a corned beef brisket, but using a a cast iron dutch oven is the best way to cook this beef recipe if you don't have a smoker.

While a smoker is the preferred method for smoked meat, Dutch Oven Corned Beef yields better results than a slow cooker, crock pot, or boiled dinner.

The meat cooked in a dutch oven turns out so delicious and tender, you'll never want to cook it any other way!

Place the brisket in the dutch oven on a bed of onion slices. Pour beef stock and dark beer into the pot. The cooking liquid provides savory flavor and tenderizes the meat so the end result is out of this world!

Slow cooking is the key to success with brisket cuts because the meat is very tough. Set the oven on a low temperature of 325 degrees and bake for 5 hours, turning once during cooking time.

Recipe FAQS

How long do you leave dry rub on brisket?

It's not necessary to leave the rub on for a long period of time, but doing so enhances the flavor of the meat. If possible, slather brisket with rub, cover, and place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Is there a substitute for pickling spice?

If you would rather not use pickling spice, feel free to leave it out. There will be enough flavor from the other spices to season the meat.

Storage and Leftovers

The best part of this dry rub for corned beef is using leftover meat the next day for making beef hash or reubens on rye bread with swiss cheese!

Be sure to make extra rub to keep on hand for future use. Store rub in an airtight container (a mason jar works well) for up to 1 month in a cool, dry location.
