HOMEMADE CORNED BEEF WITH VEGETABLES
The brisket in this Homemade Corned Beef with Vegetables needs to brine for two weeks, so plan ahead. Pink curing salt develops flavor and while the brisket can be made without it, the result won't be as intense.

QUICK-BRINED CORNED BEEF AND VEGETABLES
Corned beef-a St. Patrick's Day standby-is made from brisket that has been cured and preserved with salt, sugar, and various spices. That's right: salt and a little time are all you need to transform a tough, lean brisket into a tender braise that is right at home alongside cabbage and in-season root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Made with efficiency in mind, the beauty of this corned beef is that it cures in just five days-about a third of the time that most other recipes take.

HOMEMADE CORNED BEEF
"The reason to corn your own beef is flavor," said Michael Ruhlman, a chef and passionate advocate of the process. He wrote about it with Brian Polcyn in their book, "Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing." "You can achieve tastes that aren't available in the mass produced versions," he said. Feel free to experiment with the "pickling spices" called for below - you can customize them, if you like, from a base of coriander seeds, black peppercorns and garlic - but please do not omit the curing salt, which gives the meat immense flavor in addition to a reddish hue. (It's perfectly safe, Mr. Ruhlman exhorts: "It's not a chemical additive. Most of the nitrates we eat come in vegetables!") Finally, if you want a traditional boiled dinner, slide quartered cabbage and some peeled carrots into the braise for the final hour or so of cooking. Or use the meat for Irish tacos.

Steps:
- Brine the brisket: In a medium pot set over high heat, combine about a gallon of water, the salt, the sugar, the garlic, 3 tablespoons pickling spices and the pink curing salt. Stir mixture as it heats until sugar and salt are dissolved, about 1 minute. Transfer liquid to a container large enough for the brine and the brisket, then refrigerate until liquid is cool.
- Place brisket in the cooled liquid and weigh the meat down with a plate so it is submerged. Cover container and place in the refrigerator for 5 days, or up to 7 days, turning every day or so.
- To cook brisket, remove it from the brine and rinse under cool water. Place in a pot just large enough to hold it and cover with one of the beers and one of the ginger beers. If you need more liquid to cover the meat, add enough of the other beer, and the other ginger beer, to do so. Add remaining 2 tablespoons pickling spices. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn heat to low so liquid is barely simmering. Cover and let cook until you can easily insert a fork into the meat, about 3 hours, adding water along the way if needed to cover the brisket.
- Keep warm until serving, or let cool in the liquid and reheat when ready to eat, up to three or four days. Slice thinly and serve on sandwiches, in Irish tacos (see recipe) or with carrots and cabbage simmered until tender in the cooking liquid.
Tips:
- When selecting a brisket, choose one that is well-marbled with fat for the best flavor and tenderness.
- To ensure the corned beef is evenly seasoned, use a curing mixture that contains salt, sugar, spices, and pickling salt.
- Cure the brisket in the refrigerator for at least 7 days, turning it over every few days.
- When cooking the corned beef, simmer it in a large pot with enough water to cover it. Add vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions for extra flavor.
- Cook the corned beef for 3-4 hours, or until it is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Once the corned beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly before slicing it against the grain.
- Serve the corned beef with boiled potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Homemade corned beef is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different curing mixtures and vegetables to create a corned beef dish that you and your family will love.
