Ingredients
Scale
For the Corned Beef:
- 3–4 lb corned beef brisket (with spice packet)
- 2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp whole black peppercorns (if no spice packet)
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
For the Vegetables:
- 1 large green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
- 4–5 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Brisket:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Rinse brisket under cold water and pat dry. Place fat-side up in a large roasting pan. - Season & Add Broth:
Rub spice packet (or mix of spices) over brisket. In a bowl, whisk Dijon mustard, brown sugar, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar. Pour around the meat, not over. - Roast Brisket:
Cover tightly with foil or lid. Roast for 2½ hours. Check for internal temperature of 195°F–200°F for tenderness. - Add Vegetables:
Uncover and arrange cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and onion around the beef. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Re-cover and roast for 45–55 minutes. - Finish & Broil (Optional):
For crisp edges, remove foil and broil on low for last 10 minutes. Monitor closely. - Rest & Serve:
Let brisket rest 10–15 minutes. Slice against the grain. Serve on a platter with vegetables and spoon pan juices over. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Substitute turnips or parsnips for potatoes.
- Use vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
- Resting meat ensures juicy slices.
- Freeze leftovers up to 2 months with broth.
