Preparation Steps
- Combine water, kosher salt, brown sugar, curing salt, and spices in a large pot. Bring to a boil and dissolve the salts and sugars completely over medium heat, then cool and refrigerate the brine.
- Place the beef brisket in a container or plastic bag and pour the cooled brine over it, ensuring it's fully submerged. Seal and refrigerate for 10 days, flipping every few days.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) on the day of cooking.
- Chop carrots, celery, and onions and spread in a roasting pan. Add enough water to keep vegetables half submerged.
- Place the brined brisket on top of the vegetables. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 5-6 hours until fork-tender.
- Let the brisket rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Serve hot against the grain.

Notes
Submerge brisket fully in the brine for optimal flavor. Use kosher salt only, and always slice against the grain for the best texture. Allow resting time before slicing for juicy results.
