Homestyle Corned Beef with Dilled Cabbage

Tender corned beef with a Dijon-honey glaze, and served with buttery dilled cabbage.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 (2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound) boneless corned beef brisket
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

Dilled Cabbage:
1 medium head cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into 8 wedges
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place corned beef brisket and 2 cups water in Dutch oven. Bring just to a simmer; do not boil. Cover tightly and cook in 350°F (175°C) oven 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours or until fork-tender.
3. About 20 minutes before brisket is done, steam cabbage 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
4. Remove brisket from water; trim fat. Place on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4-inches from heat. Combine honey and 1 tablespoon mustard. Brush top of brisket with 1/2 of glaze; broil 3 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze; broil 2 minutes or until glazed.
5. Combine butter, 1 tablespoon mustard and dill; spread on hot cabbage. Carve brisket diagonally across the grain. Serve with cabbage.
