Braised Corned Beef With Maple is a hearty and flavorful main dish that originated in Ireland. Corned beef is a popular meat that is brined in a salty solution, often served with boiled vegetables like cabbage and carrots. For a twist, this recipe uses maple syrup and bourbon as a flavorful addition to the braising liquid, giving the meat a sweet and tangy taste. Slow roasting the beef makes it incredibly tender, making it a perfect option for a special occasion dinner.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2.	Rinse desalted corned beef brisket, and place it in a Dutch oven.
3.	Add the maple syrup and bourbon, and enough water to cover the beef by at least an inch or two.
4.	Bring to a simmer on medium-high, then place in the preheated oven.
5.	Roast in the oven for 3-4 hours or until fork-tender.
6.	Remove the beef from the oven, and let it sit for 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
7.	Slice the beef, and place it on a platter before pouring the cooking liquid over it.
8.	Serve and enjoy!
