Corned beef brisket – flat cut, with spice packet Whole grain mustard – regular or spicy Light brown sugar – for a hint of sweetness Cracked black pepper – a bit of spice to balance the sweet and mustardy flavors Green cabbage – fresh, with no wilting Sweet onion – like yellow or white Carrots – either whole or baby carrots for easier prep Mini new potatoes – or other preferred small potatoes Garlic – fresh, peeled and chopped

How to Make Corned Beef and Cabbage in the Oven

Prep time for making the best Corned Beef with Cabbage recipe is only 15 minutes. Then the meat and veggies slow roast in the oven for a few hours, hassle-free. Follow these easy steps to prepare a tender, juicy, rustic Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner for your next family gathering: First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and set out a large roasting pan. Briefly rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water, and then pat dry. Place it in the roasting pan with the fat side up. In a small bowl, mix the whole-grain mustard, brown sugar, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over the top of the brisket to evenly coat. Then sprinkle the seasoning packet in the base of the roasting pan, around the beef. Pour 4 cups of water into the pan, being careful not to wash the mustard mixture off of the brisket. Cover the top of the pan tightly with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. When the corned beef is almost done, prepare the vegetables: Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core, and then cut each half into 4 wedges. Peel the onion and cut it into wedges. Trim and peel the carrots, and then cut them into 2-3 inch segments. When the corned beef comes out of the oven, increase the temperature to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic cloves in the juices left on the pan. Then arrange the cabbage, onion, carrots, and potatoes around the brisket. Spoon some of the pan juices over the vegetables. Then place the corned beef back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, covered. Spoon more broth over the veggies and bake for another 30-45 minutes uncovered, or until the largest carrots and potatoes are fork-tender.

Serving Suggestions

When the roast is done, remove the pan from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Transfer the beef to a cutting board, and use a serrated knife to slice the brisket into thin strips. Then arrange the corned beef and vegetables on a platter and serve warm. Serve with a side of extra mustard or creamy horseradish sauce. If you have leftover corned beef, you can turn it into corned beef hash, corned beef pot pie, or some delicious reuben sandwiches!
