I was given this recipe by a work friend about 17 years ago when I was just a young bride learning my way in the kitchen. I am still young and this is still my husband's favourite recipe for corn beef. It's simple and the flavour is not cluttered up with cloves and onion.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 kg corned beef (3.3lbs)
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 oven cooking bag

Steps:

Place corned beef into oven bag.
Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
Shake to mix.
Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
Slice and serve hot.
(Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.

MICROWAVE COOKED CORNED BEEF

Corned beef served with Orange & Ginger Sauce as given to me by my husband's cousin. Once you've cooked your corned beef this way, you won't do it any other way. This was cooked in a 600watt oven, so times may need changing for higher powered ovens.

Season the corned beef. Rub the brisket with a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the corned beef in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 cup of water to the dish.
Cover the dish and cook the corned beef on high power for 15 minutes.
