Ingredients

  • 1 corned beef brisket about 3-4 pounds, with seasoning packet included
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 onion peeled and quartered
  • 3-4 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 2-3 bay leaves
  • 4-5 cups water or beef broth
  • Optional: whole peppercorns cloves, or other spices for additional flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess salt from the brine. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and honey to create a mustard glaze.
  • Place the corned beef brisket in a roasting pan or Dutch oven, fat side up.
  • Spread the mustard glaze evenly over the surface of the brisket, coating it completely.
  • Scatter the onion quarters, smashed garlic cloves, and bay leaves around the brisket in the roasting pan.
  • If desired, sprinkle the seasoning packet that came with the corned beef over the brisket. You can also add additional spices like peppercorns or cloves for extra flavor.
  • Pour enough water or beef broth into the roasting pan to almost cover the brisket. The liquid will help tenderize the meat and keep it moist during roasting.
  • Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
  • Roast the corned beef brisket for about 3-4 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat—it should slide in easily with little resistance.
  • Once the corned beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and the meat to firm up slightly for easier slicing.
  • Slice the roasted corned beef brisket against the grain into thin slices. Serve it with your favorite side dishes such as roasted potatoes, steamed cabbage, or glazed carrots.
  • Enjoy your delicious roasted corned beef with mustard as a flavorful and comforting meal!
