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.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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.

Tips:

  • Choose a corned beef brisket that is about 3-4 pounds. This will ensure that it fits in your microwave and cooks evenly.
  • If you don't have a microwave-safe roasting bag, you can use a large plastic bag. Just make sure to poke several holes in the bag so that the steam can escape.
  • To make sure the corned beef is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the corned beef is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides, such as boiled potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and horseradish sauce.
