Ingredients
  

Corned Beef
  • 3 to 4 pound corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • Water for boiling
Glaze
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp butter

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot. Add enough water to fully cover the meat. Sprinkle in the spice packet.
  2. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then lower the heat. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours until the beef is fork tender.
  3. While the beef cooks, melt the butter in a small pan. Add the onion and cook until soft and lightly golden.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until thick and glossy.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the cooked beef from the pot and place it in a baking dish.
  7. Pour the sauce over the beef, spreading it evenly on top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the top looks sticky and caramelized.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

Let the corned beef rest before slicing to retain juices. You can also make this recipe ahead by boiling the beef a day in advance and baking it with glaze before serving. Leftovers are excellent for sandwiches or corned beef hash.
