Apricot-Glazed Corned Beef

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Apricot-Glazed Corned Beef.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a large baking dish and give it a light spritz with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your corned beef doesn’t stick.

3. Step 3

   Rinse your corned beef under cold water, then place it in the prepared dish.

4. Step 4

   Pour in enough water to cover the meat, and then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep all those delicious juices in.

5. Step 5

   Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about two hours.

6. Step 6

   When the time is up, carefully drain the liquid from the dish—watch out for the steam! In a small bowl, combine apricot preserves, brown sugar, and soy sauce, mixing them together until you have a smooth, sweet glaze.

7. Step 7

   Spread this delightful mixture evenly over the corned beef, letting it soak in all that flavor.

8. Step 8

   Return the dish to the oven, this time uncovered, and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes.

9. Step 9

   As it cooks, take a moment to baste the corned beef with the pan drippings every now and then; this will enhance the flavor and keep the meat juicy.

10. Step 10

    Once the corned beef is tender and beautifully caramelized, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

11. Step 11

    Finally, slice the meat against the grain for the best texture, and serve it warm.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
