Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs corned beef brisket
- 8 cups water
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 tbsp peppercorns
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup whole-grain mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
Place the corned beef brisket into a large pot and add the water, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 3 hours, or until the corned beef is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, and butter over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the corned beef is done simmering, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the brown sugar mustard glaze generously all over the corned beef, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the corned beef in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes and becomes golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the corned beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve warm. Pour any extra glaze from the baking sheet over the meat for added flavor.
