Perfect Corned Beef from the Microwave image

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.

I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could. It's the best corned beef I've ever had.

I'm not a big fan of corned beef, but I tried this recipe and it was surprisingly good. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the cabbage was perfectly cooked.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I used to spend hours cooking corned beef on the stove, but now I can have it ready in just a few minutes in the microwave.

I added a few carrots and potatoes to the cooking liquid and they turned out great.

I've been making corned beef in the microwave for years, and this recipe is the best one I've tried. The meat is always tender and juicy, and the cabbage is perfectly cooked.

I would recommend using a larger microwave-safe container. The corned beef and cabbage barely fit in the one I used.

I followed the recipe exactly and the corned beef turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made corned beef in the microwave before, but this recipe was by far the easiest and most delicious. The meat was fall-apart tender and the cabbage was perfectly cooked.

I used a 3.5lb corned beef and added a few extra spices to the water, such as bay leaves, peppercorns, and garlic cloves. The meat turned out tender and flavorful, and the cooking liquid made a delicious gravy.
