For Horseradish Gravy:

  • 3 Tbsp. butter unsalted
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 cups juices from cooked corned beef
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar

For Mustard Sauce:

  • Add potatoes and carrots, return it to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover again
  • Cook for about 30 minute or until veggies are tender
  • Add the cabbage, get it boiling again, reduce to simmer, place lid on and cook for about 10 more minutes - or until cabbage is tender
  • Remove the veggies and beef, but keep them warm

Making the horseradish gravy: 

  • Meanwhile, take 1-2 cups of strained juices from the cooked meat
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter
  • Add flour and wisk until smooth
  • Add in the strained juices and wisk in
  • Now, add the rest of the horseradish gravy ingredients
  • Cook until it thickens up

Notes
