Baked Dijon-Brown Sugar Corned Beef
This Baked Dijon-Brown Sugar Corned Beef combines a tender corned beef brisket coated with tangy Dijon mustard and sweet brown sugar, baked slowly to develop a flavorful glaze. The dish features a rich balance between mustard's sharpness and the caramelized sweetness from brown sugar, creating a moist and flavorful roast with a browned crust after a brief broil.
Ingredients
- 3 lb corned beef rinsed & seasoning packet discarded
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
- Brush a thick coating of Dijon mustard over the entire piece of beef. Place the fat side up on a large piece of tin foil.
- Next, sprinkle the brown sugar on top evenly.
- Wrap the corned beef with foil so that space is left between the top of the corned beef and the tin foil.
- Wrap in a second piece of foil. Place into the oven and bake for 3 hours.
- Open the foil and broil the corned beef for 2-3 minutes, until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- Let the corned beef rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing across the grain of the meat.
- Serve with the reserved extra Dijon mustard on the side if desired. Enjoy!
