Prepare Filling: In a food processor, finely chop the corned beef. Remove and set aside. Add onion and celery to the food processor and finely chop them as well.
-
Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, onion, celery, cooked brown rice, egg, and spicy brown mustard. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
-
Assemble Rolls: Place about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves, tucking in the ends, and place them seam side down in a 13×9 inch baking pan.
-
Prepare Cooking Liquid: Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in boiling water. Add beer to the mixture and pour it over the cabbage rolls in the baking pan.
-
Bake: Cover the baking pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the cabbage rolls are tender and the filling is cooked through.
-
Prepare Mustard Sauce: Remove the baking pan from the oven and carefully pour out 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the pan. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually add the reserved cooking liquid, stirring constantly. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Pour the mustard sauce over the baked cabbage rolls. Serve hot, garnished with additional spicy brown mustard if desired.
