Baked Corned Beef with Honey Mustard Glaze

I love making baked corned beef for St. Patrick's Day because the gentle oven heat makes it incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with savory flavor in every slice.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds corned beef
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 5 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the Oven - Set the oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 350°F (177ºC).
2. 2Prepare the Meat - Remove the corned beef from the package, discarding the spice packet. Dry the surface with paper towels. Place the beef fat-side up on a wire rack set on top of a roasting pan. Add about 1 inch of water to prevent the juices from burning while cooking.
3. 3Make the Glaze - Combine whole grain mustard, Dijon, and honey. Then evenly spread 3 tablespoons (about half) of the mixture on top of the corned beef.
4. 4Cover the Meat - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar on top of the glazed meat. Then loosely cover the pan completely with foil.
5. 5Bake - Bake the corned beef until tender, and the internal temperature reaches 160ºF (71ºC), about 75 minutes. Add more time as needed to cook thoroughly.
6. 6Glaze Again - Carefully remove the pan from the oven and transfer the corned beef to a baking sheet lined with foil. Set oven temperature to broil. Glaze the meat again with the remaining mustard mixture, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over it.
7. 7Broil - Cook until the top of the meat turns golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
8. 8Rest, then Slice - Remove the corned beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
