Instructions: (Makes 4 servings)
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Place corned beef brisket in roasting pan, with the fat side up. (Use a roasting pan large enough to hold the brisket and the vegetables, which are added later.)
-
Combine Sunkist fresh-squeezed lemon juice and ¾ cup of the chicken broth and pour over brisket into the roasting pan. The liquid should come halfway up the side of the brisket. Add water if necessary to make enough liquid.
-
Sprinkle the brisket with cracked black pepper as desired.
-
Place the lemon slices on top of the brisket, overlapping if necessary.
-
Cover roasting pan tightly with lid, or seal and cover pan with foil. Cook for 2 1/2 hours.
-
While corned beef is cooking, combine sweet hot mustard and lemon peel. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
-
After corned beef has cooked for 2 1/2 hours, remove from oven. Add potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage around brisket.
-
Add 1/4 cup additional chicken broth to pan, cover tightly again and continue cooking 45 minutes to 1 hour longer.
-
Remove from oven. Remove foil and let rest for approximately 10 – 15 minutes before slicing.
-
Divide meat, potatoes and vegetables and serve on 4 plates. Add ½ tablespoon lemon mustard to each plate and serve.
