Ingredients
- 1 corned beef brisket (approx. 4 pounds / 1.8kg)
- 4 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp runny honey
- 1-2 tsp pickling spices (see recipe notes)
Instructions
- Place the brisket in a pot of water and rinse it two or three times to remove extra salt. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- Mix together the mustard, honey and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. If you have pickling spices you can mix those in as well or sprinkle them on top of the brisket.
- Lay two large pieces of foil on your countertop and place the brisket in the middle. Brush the ⅔ of mustard / honey paste over the whole brisket.
- Wrap the brisket in the foil, tightly, and place in the air fryer basket. Cook for 1 hour at 350°F (180°C).
- Open the foil and baste the brisket with any remaining paste. Wrap again and cook for a further 40 minutes or until the internal temperature is a minimum of 145°F / 63° when checked with a meat thermometer.
- If you like a crisp top then uncover the brisket and cook it for about 5 minutes at 400°F / 200°C.
- Rest the brisket for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain with a sharp knife.

Notes
- Contains affiliate links. For more information, check my disclosure
- I cooked my corned beef brisket in a 5.8 QT Cosori Air Fryer. A meat thermometer is the best way to check whether the corned beef is cooked without drying it out. I swear by my Thermapen!
- I like to grind the pickling spices in a spice grinder or a pestle and mortar before using.
- When slicing your corned beef you want to cut against the grain and cut thin slices. Use a large serrated knife and slice in a see-sawing motion, slow and steady.
- Only slice as much corned beef as you are serving. Wrap any leftovers in foil and keep refrigerated for up to three days.
- You can reheat corned beef in the air fryer – slices will need only 2-3 minutes at 350°F (180°C). A large piece of corned beef will need about 8-10 minutes.
