stormcatsue told me you had a good Corned Beef recipe.

Wondering if you have a link or could post it up. I can do it OK, but always looking for a better idea.

Glad you reminded me..

There is still time to save yourself from the humbling experience of a soggy, rubbery, tasteless corned beef tonight! Remember: Braise = Praise.. Back by demand, the Braised Corned Beef recipe, plus a bonus of my Corned Beef Glaze if you want to go the candied route..

1T Kitchen Bouquet
1T vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic, sliced

Thanks much Steve !

Interesting article jms. Always wondered why all my old relatives always had ham and cabbage. Now I know.

I'm going to roll with the SB recipe, got plenty of time to play some races Sat.

I have Keller’s book but it is far above my head and alot of ingredients are not obtainable for the layman. Been to alot of resurants that use it for chicken. It is magical for chicken. Simple Costco skinless deboned chicken breasts for 2 hours at 150 is something I have several times a week. Again recipe from SeriousEats.

Well, it was good. I violated the recipe and put a can of beer in there. Turned out rare, I had a 4# brisket. Could have let it go for 7 to 7 1/2 hours. Maybe the added liquid skewed that. You do have to remove it and let it rest. I waited 20 min. and the fat was not fully congealed. Should have waited 45 minutes. Ate dinner and let it sit and now it is perfect for sandwiches tomorrow.

Taste was excellent. So tender you could cut with a fork. Searing it kept all those nice juices in. Really good.

I think the beer was a plus. The alcohol steams off in the cooking, so it's not like boozy corned beef. It's long gone. However, I would imagine different beers or ales could enhance the cooking.

But I did think that skewed the cooking time. Steve said 4T of liquid, but if I am cooking something at home and it runs out of liquid, I'm in big trouble. I'm in a world of trouble. If I got smoke or smell in the kitchen, my life turns horrible. So I try to err on the non-smoke side.

Corned beef rare?? beer would or more liquid would not skewed. may be next time take cover off and let it brown just a bit. can always glaze it with honey-mustard mix

OK, Now today it is just perfect. Had a great cold sandwich. Taste and tenderness was right on.

No need to brine your own just buy store bought and skip to step 2

Dahoss · #15 03-15-2020, 11:43 AM

The search function here is great. Here’s your thread from 2 years ago

Thanks for link Hoss. Just what I was looking for. Luckily I did get a Corned Beef Brisket and 2 heads of Cabbage yesterday morning. Going to try tomorrow for some potatoes and carrots, were sold out.

Guiness is good as a beer add. I also like adding a shot or two of whiskey. If you don't drink, don't worry. The alcohol is evaporated in the cooking. The barley, hops, rye make good flavor.

Shame to waste the nectar of the Gods in food lol. Guinness is great for cooking

OK, going back in. Got the CB and Cabbage, but not the carrots and potatoes. May try at the store tomorrow. Did all the marinade and ready to go in the morning. Going to sear and braise. Not really different, but going to sear in a wok. Don't think it makes a difference. I guess it is my Chinese background. I'm an Irish-American from Philly but have a great Chinese wife.

The only potential issue with the wok that I see would be if the base isn’t big enough...but it likely will be.

One of these days I’m going to have to try one of these recipes. Really want to try the crab cake recipe...but my wife is allergic to shellfish. Maybe this one. My dad’s mom was Irish-American and used to make this multiple times per year.

jnunan4759 · #20 03-17-2020, 11:01 PM

Have to give another cap off to Steve's recipe today. With all outward social festivities off, all quarantined activities focused at home and the recipe came through again.

When I got the meat a fork wouldn't even go into it, it was so tough. By the end, the most tender stuff you ever ate. Braise=Praise.

Thanks Steve.
