the best corned beef

Corned beef is one of my favorite meals. It’s such a traditional, festive dish and we enjoy it a couple times per year. My family makes it different than most because ours has a brown sugary glaze on the top. This glaze does for corned beef what Honeybaked does for ham. 🙂

This simple glaze is easy to put together, you probably have the ingredients on hand, and it only takes a few extra minutes. This is the only way I’ve had corned beef for years, and now it’s the only way I’ll eat it. It goes great with a side of potatoes, carrots and cabbage. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does.

  3. Remove the brisket from water, scrape off the fat and let it sit for approximately 30 minutes.
  4. Mix together brown sugar and mustard and spread it evenly over the top of the brisket.
  5. Put the brisket under the broiler until the glaze just starts bubble (do not brown). Remove from oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
