The corned beef horseradish sauce really puts the flavor – over the top. My mom always made corned beef and hash, but she really never made corned beef gravy. This recipe combines that nostalgia of a corned beef recipe with a delicious sauce to smother it in.

For those that don’t like horseradish – no worries! There is also a mustard sauce for corned beef and cabbage.

How do you get a brisket tender?

• Brisket, by nature, is tough meat. Be sure to cook it covered in water, on a low simmer for a couple of hours, so the meat can get tender. Cover your pot with the lid.

What Should I serve with Corned Beef?

• Typically cabbage, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, and carrots are all good sides for Corned Beef

How Much Water Should I cover the Corned Beef with?

• Just enough to cover it should be enough. Be sure the lid is on the pot, so moisture does not escape
