Corned Beef Brisket with Glaze

IT Guy and I love pastrami. So it just made sense that we would love corned beef brisket. And I was right. Making this roast is so easy and the end result is tender and flavorful. Don't let the picture of the cooked meat throw you off. Brisket has a pinkish tint to it after it cooks. IT Guy likes cabbage but I'm not big fan so we had potatoes on the side. The sandwiches made from the leftovers were incredible, too! Just a really good meal and easy to boot!

Corned Beef Brisket with Glaze



1 2-pound corned beef brisket
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Place brisket in a large stock pot and cover with water.

Add spices that come with brisket.

Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook about 3 hours.

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. 

When brisket is done cooking, place in a baking pan and spread glaze over the meat. 

Bake at 375° for about 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes. 

Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Okay...let's go.

Place the meat in a stock pot and 

cover with water. Add the little spice 

packet that comes with the meat. Cook 

according to package directions. 

Usually about 2 - 3 hours.

Mix up the ingredients for the glaze. 

This is what makes it goooooood.

After the meat is cooked, place it 

in a baking pan and bake it for about 

15 minutes, glazing every 5 minutes. 

This is what it looks like after that.

Allow to stand at room temp then slice it up!!!
