CORNED BEEF
The aroma of the spices in this recipe are so outstanding, that it almost unfair that you have to wait several hours before you can indulge. It is done to perfection when the corned beef is brown on the outside but rosy on the inside. It is so inviting...let's eat!

Steps:
- Put beef into large stock pot, Add all the seasonings. Do not put the cabbage in the pot. Pour cold water into pot, to cover the meat. Bring to a boil. Skim off foam. Cover pot. Lower heat to a simmer.
- If using the cabbage, after 3 1/2 half hours, add the cabbage. Simmer for 30 minutes more. This should be fork tender, if not let it simmer until it is fork tender. Use your judgement. Remove, and slice to your desired thickness. Corned Beef can be served cold or hot. Your choice. This is usually made into sandwiches. Rye bread, potato salad, coleslaw and pickles are excellent side dishes. Maybe French fries. Hmm.

CORNED BEEF
The way my mum made it, the way I make it. Mum used to cook her veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, tiny onions) in the water, putting them in about 45 minutes before the meat was cooked. I find them over salty done this way. Reserve a half a cup of strained cooking liquid to make my Mustard Sauce for Corned Beef recipe #21617.Leftovers make good sandwiches with relish or chutney.

Steps:
- In a very large pot, combine the water, kosher salt, brown sugar, pink curing salt, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, mustard seeds, peppercorns, allspice berries, juniper berries, and cloves. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once the brine is boiling, remove from the heat and add the ice to bring the temperature below 45˚F (7˚C).
- Place the brisket in a large plastic storage container with a lid. Pour the cooled brine over the meat. Cover and brine the beef in the refrigerator for 5-7 days, flipping once a day.
- Once the brisket is brined, remove the beef from the liquid and transfer to a pot large enough for it to sit flat on the bottom. Add the onion, celery, carrot, ginger beer, and beer. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer for 2½-3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Remove the meat from the pot and let cool. If making corned beef and cabbage, reserve the cooking liquid. Otherwise, discard.
- Spread the mustard on both sides of the toasted rye bread. Lay the ⅓ lb corned beef and pickles on one slice of bread and top with the other slice.
- Cut the sandwich in half crosswise.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a well-marbled brisket cut from the lower chest area of the cow for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the Fat: Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer to help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Use a Large Pot: Use a large stockpot or roasting pan that can easily accommodate the brisket and the brining or cooking liquid.
- Prepare the Brine: Make sure the brine is flavorful and well-balanced. Use a combination of water, salt, sugar, pickling spices, and seasonings. You can adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences.
- Brine the Brisket: Submerge the brisket completely in the brine and refrigerate for at least 5 days, or up to 10 days for a more intense flavor.
- Rinse and Pat Dry: After brining, rinse the brisket thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cook the brisket slowly over low heat to achieve tender and fall-apart texture. You can boil, braise, or roast the brisket depending on your preferred cooking method.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium or 180°F (82°C) for well-done.
- Let the Brisket Rest: Allow the brisket to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
