The Best corned beef in oven recipe
I have been making corned beef in the oven for years and it is my favorite way to cook it. The oven gives the meat a nice crust on the outside while keeping it tender and juicy inside. My kids love when I make this for St. Patricks Day or even just a Sunday dinner. It is a simple recipe that does not require much hands on time and the whole house smells amazing while it cooks. Corned beef is a good source of protein and iron which makes it a hearty meal for the family. I like that I can throw it in the oven and then focus on making the sides like cabbage and potatoes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Oven Baked Corned Beef
1. Do I need to soak the corned beef before baking?
Soaking is optional. If you want to reduce the saltiness you can soak the corned beef in cold water for 1 to 2 hours before cooking. Rinse it well and pat it dry before seasoning.
2. Should I cover the corned beef while it bakes?
Yes cover it tightly with aluminum foil for most of the cooking time. This traps steam and keeps the meat moist. Uncover it for the last 30 minutes to get a nice browned crust.
3. What temperature should the corned beef reach?
Cook the corned beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F. This gives you a tender sliceable texture. A meat thermometer is the best way to check.
4. Can I add vegetables to the pan?
Yes you can add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage wedges to the pan during the last hour of cooking. Just arrange them around the meat and they will cook in the juices.
5. How do I store leftover corned beef?
Store leftover corned beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Slice it before freezing for easy use later.
