corned beef dinner

This low-and-slow corned beef brisket is exceptionally tender and flavorful. Finish the dish by brollilng the corned beef with an Irish whiskey, brown sugar, and mustard glaze for a festive twist on a classic.

Beer Braised Corned Beef with Whiskey Mustard Glaze

onion

garlic (,

lager ((nothing with heavy bitter notes))

water (,

pickling spice ((or use the spice packet provided with your corned beef))

dark brown sugar (, lightly packed)

Dijon mustard

Irish whiskey

black pepper

cloves

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place sliced onion and garlic cloves in the bottom of a large Dutch oven (I use a 6-3/4 quart round wide Le Creuset). Lay corned beef on top of onions, fat cap side up. Add pickling spices or spice packet. 

Pour beer into pot, adding enough water to almost cover the brisket (see note below). Bring to a simmer on the stove. Cover tightly with the lid and cook for 3 hours in the oven, flipping the corned beef halfway through the cooking time and adding additional water to the pot, as needed, if evaporation occurs.

Cook the Corned Beef

When the corned beef is almost finished braising, combine glaze ingredients in a bowl.

Remove the corned beef from the braising liquid and pat dry with paper towels. (Reserve braising liquid in the pot.) If needed, trim the fat cap to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, so that you have a fairly even glazing surface.

Lightly score fat side with a sharp knife in a criss cross pattern. Place in a broiler-safe pan or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Brush the top and sides of the brisket with the glaze.

Place the pan or baking sheet on the oven rack 6-8 inches from the broiling element. Broil  4-5 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling. Repeat the process 2 more times, glazing and broiling the brisket for 2-3 minutes each time, until the glaze is caramelized. Important: broilers can vary in terms of intensity. Watch the corned beef carefully so it doesn&#039;t burn!

Slice corned beef against the grain. If desired, strain braising liquid and spoon over sliced meat upon serving.
