Do You Eat Corned Beef

[phorsenuf]

We love corned beef here!
If you're not a big fan of it because of it's texture, try this.....
After boiling it until almost fork tender, remove it from the water and put it in a roasting pan. Spread butter on it and then sprinkle brown sugar on it. (I usually give it a good coating). Then put it in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes. The brown sugar melts and makes a yummy coating and by putting it in the oven it firms the meat up so it isn't so "jelly" like.
Also, make sure to use a flat cut and not a point cut.
Give it a try....you'll absolutly love it!!!

It is in my frig waiting to be put in the crockpot with the potatoes. Skip the cabbage, I hate cooked cabbage.
Never heard of gray corned beef.
Using the crockpot makes the BEST pot liquor.

I don't have it too often, but I love reuben sandwiches.

I like the sandwiches but what exactly about this beef makes it CORNED? Is it cured?

I like rueben sandwiches but I tried to make corned beef in the crock pot a few months ago. My kids and DH didn't like it at all and I wouldn't even try it because of the way it looked - yuck!!!

Red corned beef is cured using nitrates. Grey Corned Beef is a salt cure. Two pounds of kosher salt disolved in warm water, cooled. Put the brisket in and weigh it down with a plate or jar so it stays completely covered. Refrigerate for 2-3 days. Simmer in new water with 2 tbls vinegar and several peppercorns for several hours until fork tender. Cook cabbage, potatoes, carrots and turnip or parsnip in the water afterwards. Serve with lots of Guldens mustard.

YUM!

Nope won't eat it. I found out how it's made and that did it for me.

Ick, ick, ick. My mom used to make corned beef and cabbage when I was growing up and just hearing the name brings back the memory of that awful SMELL.

I enjoy it a few times a year, and one of our St. Pat's traditions here in the Murphy house. Lady M make a great one.
