Description

A honey-mustard glaze on this grandma's corned beef brisket brings superb flavor to an old Irish standard.

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket
2 cups water
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon country Dijon mustard

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place brisket and water in a Dutch oven. Cover tightly.
3 Simmer in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn brisket over and continue cooking, covered, until meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.
4 Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
5 Transfer brisket, fat-side up, to a rack set in a broiler pan. Mix together honey and Dijon mustard; brush 1/2 of the mixture over the top of the brisket.
6 Place the roasting pan under the broiler, making sure the surface of the meat is 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 3 minutes. Brush with remaining honey-mustard and broil until brisket is glazed to perfection, about 2 minutes more.
