CORNED BEEF - TENDER AND DELICIOUS



Corned Beef - Tender and Delicious image

Over the years, I developed this corned beef recipe for sandwiches. If I'm making it for a party, I make 3-4 briskets because it's always the first thing to go. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic--no one has ever complained that it's too garlicky. It can also be used to make the traditional corned beef & cabbage meal by removing the beef once it's fully cooked and adding cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc. to the cooking liquid--only adds about 30 more minutes to the cooking time.

Time 6h10m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (3 lb) corned beef brisket
2 (12 ounce) bottles beer
1 head garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup peppercorn
3 -4 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Remove briskets from wrapping and place in large pot or crockpot. Rinse if you don't like the brine coating.
  • Add contents of 1 spice packet (discard 2nd spice packet or reserve for other use), the beer, peppercorns and bay leaves.
  • Break garlic head apart and peel each clove. Add entire head to the pot.
  • Add enough water to cover the meat by 1 inch. NOTE: the briskets will float, so I put a heavy heat-resistant plate or bowl on top to keep them submerged.
  • STOVETOP: Turn heat to high and bring contents to a boil. Turn heat to a low simmer; cover and cook for 6 hours or more.
  • CROCKPOT: Set on high cover; cook for 8-10 hours.
  • When done, using 2 large spoons or spatulas, carefully remove briskets to serving platter and let rest. The meat will be extremely tender, and will easily break apart if you use a meat fork.
  • If using for sandwiches, tightly wrap each brisket in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing. If you want to shred the meat, there is no need to refrigerate--just cut in thick slices and shred each slice.
  • If serving as corned beef & cabbage, once meat is removed, transfer cooking liquid to large pot (if using crockpot), bring cooking liquid to boil and add vegetables. Cover and cook 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corned beef: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat and has a deep red color. Avoid briskets that are too lean or have a lot of white fat.
  • Brine the corned beef properly: The brine is what gives corned beef its signature flavor. Be sure to use a brine that is made with the right proportions of water, salt, sugar, and spices. It is also important to brine the corned beef for the correct amount of time. The meat should be brined for at least 7 days, but no more than 10 days.
  • Cook the corned beef slowly: Corned beef is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and gently. The best way to do this is to simmer the meat in a covered pot for several hours. You can also cook the corned beef in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Use a variety of spices: Corned beef is a versatile dish that can be flavored with a variety of spices. Some common spices used to flavor corned beef include garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and juniper berries. You can also add vegetables such as carrots, onions, and potatoes to the pot while the corned beef is cooking.
  • Serve the corned beef with traditional sides: Corned beef is traditionally served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. You can also serve the corned beef with other sides such as horseradish sauce, mustard, or rye bread.

Conclusion:

Corned beef is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual family meal. The key to making great corned beef is to choose the right cut of meat, brine it properly, cook it slowly, and use a variety of spices.
