Ingredients

1 Store-bought Corned Beef
2 Tbsp Yellow or Dijon Mustard
2-3 Tbsp Corned Beef Spices *Note 1

OPTIONAL SAUCE

Horseradish for Prime Rib

Instructions

OPTIONAL STEP

Soak the brisket in cold water, up to 4 hours, changing the water every hour, to remove excess salt.

BAKING THE CORNED BEEF

Pre-heat the oven to 325°F, with the rack in the middle position.
Rub the top of the corned beef (the fatty side) with mustard. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of corned beef spices on top of the mustard. You do not need to coat any other side of the roast.
Wrap the corned beef in foil (needs to be air tight) and place inside a baking dish. You can also use a roasting pan covered with foil or a lid.
Bake for 1 hour per pound. Reference the time sheet guide below for help calculating. (*Note 2)
OPTIONAL: To make roasted cabbage, potatoes or carrots: Core and wedge the cabbage and dice the potatoes and carrots. Toss in olive oil and spread out on a baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, placing on the shelf directly underneath the corned beef. Toss the cabbage and vegetables when you see the bottom of the cabbage start to brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
OPTIONAL: Turn the oven to broil, unwrap the corned beef and broil for 2-3 minutes until the top is browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
Cut, across the grain, into 1/8"-1/4" slices. For more "shreddable" style meat, cut with the grain. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1 - Use the spice package that came with your corned beef or use your own favorite spice mix.

Note 2 - Bake for 1 hour per pound. Here's a quick cheat sheet:

2 lb = 2 hours cook time
2.25 lb = 2 hours 15 min. cook time
2.5 lb = 2 hours 30 min. cook time
2.75 lb = 2 hours 45 min. cook time
3 lb = 3 hours cook time
3.25 lb = 3 hours 15 min. cook time
3.5 lb = 3 hours 30 min. cook time
