Got the same one. It's poor quality meat, and very tough. Maybe prepare it for a weekday supper and put in sandwiches with alot of sauce. DON'T use for yomtov!

I cooked mine like a corn beef and it was delicious.
I think I covered in water in a pan and baked covered tightly for 3.5 hrs. I froze sliced and will serve with a sweet sauce.

We prefer first cut bec less fat

Since it has little fat it needs to be cooked low and slow. Salt pepper onion garlic (fresh frozen or powder) and a cup of wine or orange juice. I stick in at 300 before I go to bed and my husband turns it off when he wakes up. Around 5-6 hours.

It's a first cut corned beef. Cover it in water and simmer it for hours until it gets soft. Then pull it out and prepare a glaze for it.

Actually first cut is more expensive than most other cuts. It is desirable and delicious to those who like lean deli.

It will be delicious. Cook with water 3/4 up until tender (I like to undercook a bit as I'll be rewarming slices on YT.) Cool in refrigerator overnight. Slice while cold. Rewarm in cooking liquid. Hot corned beef, yum!

Its a corned beef. Top quality (although we actually prefer second cut).

Cover it in water and boil for 3 hours. If you have an instant pot or other pressure cooker, you can put it in there for 90 minutes (I usually need to cut it in half and put half on a trivet). Be sure to natural pressure release. It will be very very very tender.

Then prepare a glaze. I use 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup brown mustard, reduced. Glaze in oven at 325 for 30 minutes, flipping over every 10 minutes.

Chag sameach. Enjoy a piece for me.

I baked in oven with water for 3 1/2 hrs on 300. It was delicious.

I served some plain and added sweet sauce to rest and baked for 1/2 hr.

You can also cook it in a crock pot for several hours. Keep poking it with a fork until it starts to fall apart.

What kind of sauce/glaze can we use that is not sweet? Family won't eat brown sugar, honey or anything of the like.

UPDATE:
So I baked it in water in the oven on 300degrees for 3 hrs.
It was yummy, but in no way shape or form, soft. (I also prob should have cut the slices a little thinner.)

SO
I have another one. 2 more, I think. Should I change something about how I made it? If I would have cooked it longer and lower would it have been softer?

Hey I just had an idea to try “pulling” it with a sauce ( sautéed onions, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce?)
Is there such a thing as pulled corned beef? 😏

It needs 4 hours at 300. But I bake for 3 hours to get nice slices, and slices continue to soften when I put on the blech in the cooking liquid on YT to warm up. You can definitely bake for 4 hours next time.

For another one, after baking/slicing you can stick the slices in the oven for 30 minutes covered in a sweet sauce.

You can also shred it over flatbread with caramelized onion and some sweet sauce and some spicy sauce.
