- 1 bunch carrots peeled and cut into 2” lengths, skinny carrots preferred, about 1 lb
- 2 shallots peeled and halved
- 4 oz olives
- 1 tbsp Japanese mustard
Optional Homemade Spice Mix
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds

Braise your corned beef with spices at 195ºF for 3-5 hours or until tender.
10 minutes before your beef is done, add potatoes and carrots. Set your oven to 300ºF and sear your shallots in an oven safe pan such as a cast iron skillet. Transfer to oven once seared.
Remove the beef and let rest, then slice against the grain. Add cabbage and simmer for 15 minutes.
When vegetables are tender, warm the sliced brisket in the cooking broth, then plate everything along with the roasted shallots, warmed olives (warm them in the microwave for 30-45s), and Japanese mustard. Top with a little of the braising liquid, and enjoy!
Most corned beef briskets come in 3lb packs, so you'll need to make the whole 3 lbs and then reserve some for other recipes, such as corned beef hash.
