Crispy Glazed Corned Beef on pan The week after St. Patrick's Day is my favourite because all the corned beef packages go for 75% off at my local grocery store. I'm not a huge fan of the traditional boiled corned beef and veggies, so I make this version where it's boiled, coated in a sauce, then put under the broiler until it caramelizes. It's so good, and so cheap. You can feed several people for a few bucks.

This is made in a pressure cooker. If you want to use a regular pot, increase the cooking time for boiling the corned beef over low heat to at least 3 hours. My recipe has quite a kick from the horseradish. If you want yours more subtle, lessen the amount of horseradish.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 80 minutes

Total Time: 85 minutes

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 corned beef brisket with seasoning packet (3-4 pounds)
water
1 Tbsp whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 carrots
3 potatoes
1 large onion
1 head cabbage
2/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup horseradish sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp mustard

Steps:

Place the corned beef in the pressure cooker pot and cover with water. Add seasoning packet, peppercorns, bay leaf, and garlic clove. Bring to a boil, put cover and rocker on, then cook until it begins rocking. Keep at medium-low rocking motion and cook for 1 hour.

Cut the head of cabbage into quarters. Slice down the middle of each section about 2 inches, but keep intact.

Halve the potatoes and onion. Rough chop the carrots. Add them, along with the cabbage, to the pot with the cooked corned beef. Add a bit more water, cover, and cook on high for 15 minutes.

Drain cooked brisket and vegetables and transfer to a large baking dish.

In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, vinegar, mustard, and sugar.

Slather 3/4 of the sauce over brisket and vegetables, then place under the broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, until caramelized. Serve the remaining sauce in small bowl alongside for dipping.
