Honey & Mustard Corned Beef

A full four years back, I shared a favorite recipe for Honey 'n Mustard Corned Beef and, even after all this time, I still regularly receive glowing reports from newsletter readers who've made this their first choice, go-to recipe. Of course, the mailing list was a fraction of the size back then, meaning countless Meatland customers and friends have missed out. With our famous corned beef currently on a very special offer, and Channuka lighting hosting in full swing, it seemed only fair that I share this flavorful winner with all. It adds just one extra cooking step to the laughably easy preparation method but produces exceptional results every time.
