Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Serving:
  2. For the brisket: In a large pot, combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns, juniper berries, allspice, cloves, mustard seeds, bay leaves and cinnamon stick and cover with 2 gallons water. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and chill to 40 degrees F.
  3. Fill a marinade injector with some of the brine and inject the brisket with as much brine as it will hold. Submerge the brisket in the remaining brine and store in a baking dish, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.
  4. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  5. Place the brisket into a large roasting pan and cover it with as much of the brining liquid as the pan will hold. Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven until tender and medium-rare, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer should register 130 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the oven, place on a platter and/or cutting board and tent with foil. Let the brisket rest for 1 hour. Slice as thinly as possible.
  6. To serve: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  7. Butter the rye bread and place on a baking sheet. Top with 6 ounces thinly sliced brisket, some Beer Braised Sauerkraut and a slice of Swiss cheese. Bake the Reubens until the cheese is melted and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Top with Smoked Russian Dressing.
