Why We Love This Corned Beef Recipe

And not just any corned beef will do! That’s why this flavor-packed, hand-held dynamo is layered with Omaha Steaks Rustic Corned Beef. Our corned beef is cured in traditional spices to deliver that classic taste that’s usually reserved for St. Patrick’s Day and is thaw-and-serve easy.
