I used this recipe to make my first ever St. Paddy's Day corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight. I started with a 3.5 piece of corned beef, it took all of 4.5 hours of cooking on the stove and another 30 minutes in the oven. Give yourself enough time to cook this! Very tasty and the glaze is awesome. I'd make this dish again.

This is a great recipe! We make it all the time. My wife and I love it. The glaze is perfect.

I'd never made corned beef before, but this recipe made me look like I'd been doing it my whole life. That last 30 minutes in the oven takes the boiled look from the corned beef, which makes it look much more appetizing to me. After letting the brisket cool, I cut slices (against the grain) and spread them out in a dish. Next time, I'll be spreading the mustard glaze over all the slices. Delicious!

I made this for dinner yesterday. It has a wonderful flavor after baking in the oven. I put some potatoes in the water after putting the corned beef in the oven and we ate the onion and potatoes.

I used a 5 lb round corned beef and all I can say is that it was fabulous!! It just melted in your mouth. I followed your recipe exactly as written, except when I put the meat in the oven, I cooked the cabbage in the water that the corned beef had cooked in. This is by far the best corned beef I've ever had. I also think that using the round made a big difference. The glaze was perfect....like one of the other reviewers said..it wasn't overpowering at all. Thanks for posting and thanks for the hint about using the round roast.
