PrintThis Baked Corned Beef with Mustard and Brown Sugar is oven-roasted until tender and glazed with a sweet, tangy crust. It’s a simple twist on a classic that’s perfect for holidays or hearty dinners.
3–4 lb corned beef brisket (flat or point cut)
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp Dijon or whole grain mustard
1/2 cup water or beef broth
Optional: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or pickling spices
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a roasting pan with foil and add a rack if desired.
Rinse corned beef and pat dry. Place in prepared pan.
Mix mustard and brown sugar. Spread half the mixture on the beef.
Add water or broth to the bottom of the pan (not over the meat).
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until fork-tender.
Uncover, spread remaining glaze on top, and bake for another 20–30 minutes until golden and sticky.
Rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Trim excess fat for a leaner result.
Try maple syrup for a different glaze flavor.
Great for sandwiches and leftover recipes.
