Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef brisket
- 8 cups water
- 3 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 4 pieces carrots, peeled and halved
- 2 pieces yellow onions, quartered
- 1 cup whole grain mustard
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and seasoning, then pat it dry with paper towels.
In a large pot, place the corned beef brisket and add 8 cups of water, the bay leaves, and the black peppercorns.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the brisket for 2 hours and 30 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
After 2 hours and 30 minutes, add the carrots and onions to the pot. Continue simmering for an additional 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the corned beef is fork-tender.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole grain mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder to create the glaze.
Remove the corned beef from the pot and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the cooking liquid to serve as a broth for the vegetables, if desired.
Brush the mustard glaze generously over the top and sides of the corned beef.
Place the glazed corned beef in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
Remove the corned beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Serve the mustard glazed corned beef with the simmered vegetables and an optional ladle of the reserved cooking liquid for extra flavor.
