Baked Dijon-Brown Sugar Corned Beef
Servings 8
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 3 lb corned beef rinsed & seasoning packet discarded
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- I learned from various websites that corned beef can be very salty, especially when baked. To remedy this, place the corned beef in a large pot of boiling water and boil it over high heat for 1 minute. Drain the water and pat the corned beef until very dry.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
- Brush a thick coating of Dijon mustard over the entire piece of beef. Place the fat side up on a large piece of foil.
- Next, sprinkle the brown sugar over it.
- Wrap the corned beef with foil so that space is left between the top of the corned beef and the foil.
- Wrap in a second piece of foil.
- Place into the oven and bake for 3 hours.
- Open the foil and broil the corned beef for 2-3 minutes, until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- Let the corned beef rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain of the meat.
- Serve with the reserved extra Dijon mustard on the side if desired. Enjoy!
