Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in flour, mustard, thyme, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in half-and-half, milk, and corned beef cooking liquid. Bring to simmer and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
