Ingredients

  • Pickling packet that came with your corned beef*
  • ¼ cup brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4- pound corned beef brisket

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. 
  • Mix the contents of the pickling packet with the mustard and apple cider vinegar, forming a paste.
  • Set the brisket on a large sheet of aluminum foil sprayed lightly with cooking oil. Brush ⅔ of the mustard paste over the whole brisket, reserving the rest, then fold the foil around the brisket.
  • Place the wrapped brisket in the air fryer basket and cook for 1 hour.
  • When the timer goes off, pull back the foil, baste the brisket with the remaining sauce, and cover. Cook for another 40 minutes.
  • Pull back the foil and cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees, if you’d like a nice top.

* if your corned beef didn't come with a pickling packet, you can use this delicious Spiceology mix or make your own pickling spice and use a few teaspoons
