Bring the brisket to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
For boiling (classic method): Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, add aromatics like bay leaves, peppercorns, carrots, onions, and celery if desired. Bring to a gentle simmer, skim any foam, then cover and cook low and slow for 3-4 hours (or until fork-tender, around 90-95°C internal). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
For roasting: Preheat oven to 160-180°C (fan 140-160°C / Gas 3-4), place in a covered dish with a splash of stock or water, cover tightly with foil, and roast for 3-4 hours (or 45-60 minutes per 500g plus extra time), basting occasionally for a golden finish.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 20-30 minutes before carving, this lets the juices redistribute for incredibly tender, flavourful slices.
Slice thinly against the grain for sandwiches or thicker for mains.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply boiled with mustard, pickles, and boiled potatoes/cabbage for a traditional plate, or piled high on rye bread with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing for the ultimate Reuben-style sandwich, elevate with horseradish, mustard, or a light glaze for added indulgence.
