A quick and easy recipe for tender corned beef brisket with a tangy mustard glaze and roasted cabbage, perfect for cozy dinners and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds corned beef brisket (preferably pre-brined with seasoning packet)
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard (Dijon or spicy brown mustard)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the corned beef brisket. Reserve seasoning packet if included.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and black pepper to make the glaze.
  4. Place the brisket fat-side up in a roasting pan. Brush the entire surface generously with the mustard glaze.
  5. Cut the cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, keeping the core intact. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Arrange the cabbage wedges around the brisket in the roasting pan. Add herbs if using.
  7. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil to trap steam.
  8. Roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Check progress at 2 hours.
  9. Remove the foil and baste the brisket again with any remaining glaze.
  10. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and roast uncovered for 15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  11. Remove the pan from the oven. Tent the brisket loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  12. Serve sliced brisket with roasted cabbage wedges and spoon pan juices over the meat.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure brisket reaches 190°F for tender, pull-apart texture. Resting the meat after roasting locks in juices. Watch the glaze closely during the final high-heat roast to prevent burning. For gluten-free, verify mustard and brown sugar are gluten-free. Optional herbs add flavor. Leftovers store well up to 4 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen.
