Honey Mustard Corned Beef

Have a St. Patty’s Day feast any day, with Nations Best® First Cut Corned Beef baked with our extra-special, honey mustard sauce that has a hint of orange. The term “corned” refers to the very coarse salt originally used in the curing process that dates back to 17th century Ireland. Today, we cure it in a flavorful brine solution from our Old World recipes.
