Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 4 pounds corned beef with spice packet
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 cup apple juice or apple cider
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) if using oven method.
  2. Rinse corned beef and pat dry. Rub Dijon mustard all over the beef.
  3. Mix garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, and fennel seeds; sprinkle evenly on the corned beef.
  4. Place corned beef in a large dutch oven or slow cooker.
  5. Pour apple juice and apple cider vinegar around the beef.
  6. If using oven, cover and cook for 3 hours 30 minutes until tender.
  7. If using slow cooker, cook on low for 8 hours or until tender.
  8. For extra crispiness (oven method), uncover and broil the corned beef for 5-10 minutes until crispy on top.
  9. Let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the beef to rest before slicing. Serve with cabbage and potatoes for a traditional meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
