ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF



Ultimate Corned Beef image

This is THE BEST corned beef recipe ever. It's from 'The Brooklyn Cookbook' by Lyn Stallworth and Rod Kennedy, Jr. The secret is that it's roasted not boiled. I usually cook 2 pieces of meat - as much as I can fit in my large roasting pan - to be sure there are leftovers. ;) I either roast my cabbage in wedges or make one of the MANY wonderful cabbage dishes here. Please don't just boil the stuff! .

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Beef:
10 cups water
1 1/2 cups Kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons pickling spices
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 fresh beef brisket (7 to 9 pounds)
For the Vegetables:
3 ribs celery (cut into 2-inch pieces)
2 large onions (cut into wedges)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
6 medium red potatoes (halved)
5 carrots (cut into thirds)
2 small rutabagas (or 1 medium rutabaga, cut into 2-inch chunks)
1 head of cabbage (cut into 6 or 8 wedges)

Steps:

  • Combine water, salt, sugar, mustard, spices, and 3 cloves minced garlic in an 8-quart nonreactive stock pot.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • When liquids have cooled, trim the corned beef of excess fat and put into the liquid. You may need to transfer the liquids and corned beef to a larger container or bowl, just make sure it is nonreactive. If necessary, add more cold water to cover the beef.
  • Using a heavy pottery bowl or a few small bowls, weigh the corned beef down so it will stay submerged in the water. Cover the pan and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. Take out once a day to stir lightly, and turn the beef as needed.
  • On the 6th or 7th day, remove the beef from the brine and rinse well with cold water. Place in a large (8-quart or larger) pot. Cover with cold water and add the celery, onions, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Bring to a boil; skim off any scum which develops on the surface. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Uncover the pot and add the potatoes, carrots, rutabaga or turnip, and cabbage. An 8-quart pot should be large enough, but if you don't have room for all of the vegetables, bring another pot of water to a boil and add a 1 tablespoon of salt ; add the cabbage or other vegetables which wouldn't fit.
  • Cover the large pot and cook until meat and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour longer.
  • If cooking some vegetables in another pot, cook just until tender and keep warm.​ You Might Also Like Oven Braised Corned Beef With Beer Simmered Corned Beef with Tangy Mustard Sauce Corned Beef Hash With Optional Cabbage and Carrots

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality corned beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is evenly trimmed and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the brine properly: Make sure the brine is completely dissolved in the water and that the corned beef is completely submerged in the brine.
  • Keep the corned beef in the brine for the recommended amount of time: The longer the corned beef is in the brine, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not brine the corned beef for more than 10 days, as this can make it too salty.
  • Rinse the corned beef thoroughly before cooking: This will remove any excess salt from the brine.
  • Cook the corned beef slowly: The best way to cook corned beef is to simmer it in water for several hours. This will help to tenderize the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for corned beef include boiled potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Corned beef is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a perfect meal for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make corned beef at home that is just as good as, if not better than, what you would find at a restaurant.
