Ingredients
- 1.5 kg corned beef brisket
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 onion, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Corned Beef
Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot and add water, onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2.5 hours or until tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Glaze
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, ground cloves, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3: Apply the Glaze
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the corned beef from the pot and place it on a baking tray. Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meat.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 20 minutes, basting with additional glaze halfway through. The glaze should caramelize into a rich, golden crust.
Step 5: Serve
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
