Tips for Making Dutch Oven Crunchy Corned Beef:

  • Choose the right cut of corned beef. Look for a brisket that is at least 3 pounds, with a thick layer of fat on top. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Soak the corned beef before cooking. Soaking the beef in water for several hours helps to remove some of the salt and add moisture to the meat. This will help prevent the beef from becoming dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. The traditional spices for corned beef include bay leaves, peppercorns, and pickling spices. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, and thyme, to taste.
  • Cook the beef slowly. Corned beef should be cooked over low heat for several hours, until it is fall-apart tender. This will help to develop the flavor and texture of the meat.
  • Crisp up the corned beef in the oven. After the beef is cooked, transfer it to a baking dish and broil it until the top is crispy. This will give the beef a nice crust that adds flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Dutch oven crunchy corned beef is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. The beef is cooked slowly over low heat, which helps to develop its flavor and texture. The crispy crust adds a nice touch of flavor and texture. Serve the beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, cabbage, and carrots.
