Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket
• 8 cups water
• 1 packet spice packet (included with corned beef)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine, then place it in a large pot or Dutch oven.

Step 2

Add 8 cups of water, ensuring the brisket is fully submerged. Sprinkle the spice packet over the beef.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 5

Once the corned beef is cooked, carefully transfer it from the pot to the prepared baking sheet, fat side up. Let it rest while making the glaze.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the corned beef. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, basting with additional glaze every 10 minutes, until the top is caramelized and slightly sticky.

Step 8

Remove the corned beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin pieces and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
