Home-made Corned Beef Brisket
It takes about 7-10 days to cure corned beef, then 1 day to cook it, but your
time is minimal - 30 minutes total. And the results - you won’t ever want store-bought corned beef again!
Ingredients
3-4 lb Meadow Maid Foods Grassfed Beef Brisket
2.5-3 Tbsp. Sea Salt
1.5 Tbsp. Black Peppercorns
3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar (or Rapadura or Maple Syrup)
3 Tbsp. Pickling Spice 3/4 Tbsp. Garlic Cloves, crushed
Note: Do NOT skimp on the salt OR skip the sugar. The salt and sugar do the curing.
Curing the Corned Beef
Trim brisket. Measure roast at thickest point. Place into heavy freezer bag and
set aside.
Combine all other ingredients. Mix well. Rub spice mixture into roast, pressing
in well, and close bag securely. Place in shallow pan in refrigerator.
Cure 5 days per inch of measured thickness, turning bag daily (I usually cure
for 10 days). At the end of the curing time, cook the corned beef.
To Cook Corned Beef:
Drain juices. Rinse under cold water to remove extra salt and spices. Cook all
day in a crock pot on low (my method) with about 1 cup of water. Or, wrap in
foil and bake at 300 F for 2-3 hours, until tender. Leftover corned beef may be
wrapped and frozen.
Corned Beef Brisket, Cabbage, and Potatoes:
Cook the cured brisket in crock pot all day on low, with about 1 cup water.
About 2 hours before serving, turn up temperature a bit and add small, whole
potatoes, and wedges of cabbage.
OR:
In a large stockpot, heat beef stock or water. Add potatoes, cabbage, and
previously cooked corned beef and simmer until potatoes and cabbage are tender.
