Tips
Corned Beef sandwiches are really great the next day with pan juices for dipping. Once you have served the brisket as a dinner, strain the juices into a bowl and place in the fridge over night. Then, the next day, remove the fat and reserve the remaining juices as a dipping sauce for your sandwiches. If you still have some left, make corned beef hash!
