Single item recovery in Exchange 2013

I am looking for some help in identifying the simplest process to recover a single item in Exchange 2013 in a scenario where the item is no longer available in the dumpster (i.e. a retained deleted item).

In Exchange 2010 the process was:

  1. Restore the mailbox database from backup to the Recovery database
  2. Restore the item using the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet with the -AllContentKeywords parameter to identify and restore the individual item (or items) to a target folder in the user's mailbox.

The Restore-Mailbox cmdlet is no longer available in Exchange 2013. 

I guess one possible option is the following:

  1. Restore the mailbox database from backup to the Recovery database
  2. Restore the mailbox to a dummy mailbox (or Discovery Mailbox) using New-MailboxRestoreRequest.
  3. Use the Search-Mailbox cmdlet to find the item in the dummy mailbox and restore it to a target folder in the user's mailbox.

It just seems like a very long-winded method to restore a single item. Any way to do this better?
