Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. The flavors will actually deepen overnight! You can also freeze corned beef for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy again, thaw in the fridge overnight. To reheat, place the meat and veggies in a covered dish in the oven on low heat until warmed through, or microwave them in short intervals to keep them juicy.
