Corned Beef with Mustard Sauce
This corned beef with mustard sauce was incredibly delicious.
I usually purchase the prepackaged corned beef and prepare it according to the package. This time I wanted to try a different method. It worked beautifully!
This was so full flavor, moist and tender. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!

Best Corned Beef Recipe
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Start with your standard store-purchased package. Remove the meat and spice packet from the package.
Lay the meat, fat side up, on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (large enough to fold seals on top and 2 ends).
In a small bowl, whisk together honey mustard, whole grain mustard, and brown sugar until combined.
Sprinkle the enclosed pickling spice mix evenly over the meat. Spread half of the mustard mixture over the top of the meat. Reserve remaining mustard to serve on the side.
Wrap the corned beef with foil so that space is left on top in between the corned beef and the foil
Place it in a baking dish or roasting pan. Bake for 2 hours. Open the foil and bake another 30 minutes.

Open the foil wrapping and bake another 30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
Let the meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then place on cutting board and cut at a diagonal, across the grain of the meat, into 1/2-inch thick slices.
While the meat is resting, place cabbage and potatoes in a large pot, pour some of the juices from the foil packet into the pot and fill with water to cover the vegetables. Boil about 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve with cabbage and potatoes. And the reserved mustard dipping sauce.

March 7, 2016I love corned beef, a reuben is one of my favorite sandwiches, ever. The saurkraut and melted cheese, and 1000 Island! YUM! I make corned beef in the crock pot, cook it until it falls apart, so tender. But I’ve never thought of a mustard sauce. This looks so delish! And then using the mustard sauce for the cabbage? Brilliant!!! Another must make! Thanks.
