PERFECT CORNED BEEF FROM THE MICROWAVE



Perfect Corned Beef from the Microwave image

I was given this recipe by a work friend about 17 years ago when I was just a young bride learning my way in the kitchen. I am still young and this is still my husband's favourite recipe for corn beef. It's simple and the flavour is not cluttered up with cloves and onion.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 kg corned beef (3.3lbs)
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 oven cooking bag

Steps:

  • Place corned beef into oven bag.
  • Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
  • Shake to mix.
  • Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
  • Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
  • Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
  • Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
  • Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
  • Slice and serve hot.
  • (Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
  • Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.

MICROWAVE COOKED CORNED BEEF

Corned beef served with Orange & Ginger Sauce as given to me by my husband's cousin. Once you've cooked your corned beef this way, you won't do it any other way. This was cooked in a 600watt oven, so times may need changing for higher powered ovens.

5 Minute Microwave Cornbread image

It literally takes me 5 minutes to get this cornbread on the table--including absolutely all steps. I'll be honest--it tastes better baked in a regular oven. But it's still pretty darn good in the microwave, and sometimes I only have 5 minutes!

Tips:

  • Choose a corned beef brisket that is about 3 to 4 pounds in weight. A larger brisket will not cook evenly in the microwave.
  • Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess salt. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
  • Place the brisket in a large microwave-safe dish. Add the water, brown sugar, pickling spice, and bay leaves to the dish.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 15 minutes. Reduce the power to medium and microwave for an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the brisket is tender.
  • Let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots.

Conclusion:

Microwaving corned beef is a quick and easy way to cook this traditional Irish dish. The microwave cooks the brisket evenly and in a fraction of the time it takes to cook it in the oven. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and tender corned beef dinner in your microwave.
