Ingredients

  • 1 corned beef brisket 4 lb
  • 1/4 c ketchup
  • 1/4 c Irish whiskey
  • 1/4 c apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 1 t dry mustard
  • 1/2 t ground ginger
  • 1/4 t red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Submerge corned beef, fat side up, in water in a large pot. Cover and simmer over low heat until beef is tender when pierced with a fork (3 to 3 1/2 hours). Can be chilled overnight after boiling, just bring the meat to a simmer again the next day and continue with recipe.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees; line a baking sheet with foil, top with a rack and coat with non stick spray. (I use a broiling pan)
  • Transfer beef to prepared rack, fat side up. Use a knife to trim off the fat.
  • Whisk all remaining ingredients together in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat until thickened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Spoon glaze on to beef, roast for 10 minutes or until glaze is dark and sticky.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to cutting board and cut against the grain.

Notes

If you have any of this left over it makes a terrific corned beef hash for breakfast!
