🥩 **Glazed corned beef
Glazed corned beef is a flavorful twist on traditional corned beef where a sweet glaze (often brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup) is brushed on the beef during the last stage of cooking or baking, giving it a caramelized, slightly crispy exterior while keeping the meat tender and juicy.
🧾 Ingredients (6–8 servings)
- 3–4 lb Corned beef brisket, cooked
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: cloves, black pepper, or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor
👩‍🍳 Instructions
- Cook the corned beef
- Boil or slow-cook corned beef until tender (usually 3–4 hours on low in a slow cooker, or simmered on stovetop 3–4 hours).
- Remove and let it rest slightly.
- Prepare the glaze
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, mustard, and honey (or maple syrup).
- Glaze the beef
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place cooked corned beef in a roasting pan and brush glaze over the top.
- Bake
- Roast in the oven 15–20 minutes, basting halfway through, until glaze is caramelized.
- Serve
- Slice against the grain and serve with sides like cabbage, potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
🍴 Tips & Variations
- Sweet & tangy: Add orange juice or apple cider to the glaze for extra brightness.
- Spice it up: Sprinkle crushed red pepper or smoked paprika over the glaze.
- Leftovers: Glazed corned beef makes amazing sandwiches with mustard or horseradish.
- Slow cooker version: Brush the glaze in the last 30–45 minutes of cooking, then broil briefly for caramelization.
