Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket
• 8 cups water
• 1 medium, peeled and cut into chunks carrot
• 1 large, peeled and quartered onion
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 6 pieces whole cloves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine 8 cups of water, the corned beef brisket, carrot, onion, and bay leaves.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the corned beef is fork-tender.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and transfer it to a baking dish. Discard the cooking liquid and vegetables.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey to create the glaze.

Step 7

Using a spoon or basting brush, spread the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the corned beef.

Step 8

Stud the top of the glazed corned beef with the cloves, evenly spacing them across the surface.

Step 9

Bake the corned beef in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the corned beef from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve warm. Pair with your favorite vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
