Preheat the oven to 320°F.

Wash and clean the corned beef brisket, ensuring the fat side is up.

Rub Dijon mustard over the brisket until well coated.

Sprinkle about 4 cups of brown sugar over the mustard-coated brisket, ensuring both sides are covered.

Sprinkle the seasoning packet that comes with the brisket over the meat.

Place the brisket in a heavy-duty pan and add a little water around it, enough to cover the bottom of the pan without disturbing the seasoning.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place a lid on top.

Let the brisket marinate for about 30 minutes.

Cook the brisket in the oven for approximately 3.5 hours, checking for doneness.

After about 3 hours, check the tenderness of the brisket by cutting a piece off.

Mix some of the cooking juice with a little brown sugar and mustard, and rub it on top of the brisket.

Cook for an additional 40 minutes to ensure it is fully cooked through.

Finally, broil the brisket on high for about 1 minute to achieve a crunchy top.
