Directions
-
Rinse the corned beef brisket well with cool water. Place it in a large 6- to 8-quart pot and cover with about 3 quarts of water.
-
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then drain. Repeat this process 1 or 2 more times until the water no longer tastes overly salty.
-
Return the rinsed meat to the pot and add about 2 quarts of fresh water to cover it by 1/2 inch.
-
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until the meat is very tender when pierced, about 3 1/2 hours.
-
Drain the beef and transfer it to a 9x13-inch baking pan. If making ahead, cool and chill covered until the next day.
-
In the same pot used for simmering, combine the beef broth, 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, and prepared horseradish.
-
Boil the mixture over high heat, stirring often, until it reduces to a thick glaze of about 1/2 cup, roughly 5 minutes.
-
If reheating chilled meat, cover tightly with foil and bake in a 350ðF (177ðC) oven until hot in the center, about 50 minutes, before uncovering.
-
Bake the hot meat uncovered in a 350ðF (177ðC) oven for 20 minutes, brushing generously with the sweet-hot glaze until all is used.
-
Place the meat under the broiler about 6 inches from the heat source until the top browns lightly, 3-5 minutes.
-
Transfer the glazed corned beef to a platter and serve with Dijon mustard on the side.
