Leftover Corned Beef

[sequoia]

we celebrated st. pattys day a little bit early over here. I slow-cooked some corned beef and potatoes (the stores were out of cabbage!) and wasn't too happy with the results- too much grisl! ick! and i thought we picked a less fatty piece. Anyway, now i've got more leftovers than usual, and am in search of some easy recipes! the fewer ingredients the better- i'm not much of a cook!

thanks!

What about reuben sandwiches? I love those!

Rye bread, swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut---I like this toasted in the Munsey toaster or just in the oven till the cheese melts. Yummmm!

A different twist on the reuben sandwich is to use the mini rye squares. Use the same ingredients. Makes a great appetizer

Speaking of corned beef... Does anyone have a recipe that doesn't call for boiling? I wanted to try roasting/baking for a change, but I don't know how to do it.

It was my impression that the reason for boiling that cut of meat was that it would be tough otherwise. I tried doing a quick look-up to see if I could even find a recipe where it was baked/roasted, but didn't find one. Everything seemed to call for boiling - or were recipes for already cooked corned beef. It was a quick look, though.

The closest I came called for boiling the meat for a couple hours first & then baking with peaches for another hour. I thought it sounded yummy, so I copied the link for you. http://southernfood.about.com/od/cornedbeefandbrisket/r/bl40114e.htm

Let us know if you find anything!

Actually, I did find one. (I changed the search terms to include brisket to get rid of all those "cooked" beef recipes.)

OVEN ROASTED CORNED BEEF

Place brisket on rack in roasting pan. Add enough water to touch top of rack. Cover tightly. Place in preheated 350 degree oven. Bake 1 hour. Add vegetables if desired, potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Cover and continue baking until fork tender. Total cooking time 2-3 hours, depending on size.

Glaze: Remove all liquid and brisket and vegetables. Mix 1 cup brown sugar with small amount of currant jelly and shred on top of brisket, return brisket to oven for 1/2 hour

Oh man - you all are making my mouth water. Tonight is opening night which means no corned beef for us this year....

Zandy595- the USDA's website talks about the different ways to cook corned beef, though doesn't really have any 'recipes' per se.

Brian's O'Belly has a recipe for Guinness Corned Beef:

* Ingredients:4 pounds of corned beef brisket.
* 1 cup of brown sugar
* 12 oz of Guinness Irish stout or your favorite stout beer

Preheat oven to 300° F (150° C). Rinse the beef completely and pat dry.

Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour the bottle of stout beer around, and gently over the beef to wet the sugar.

Cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. During the last hour, you may put vegetables in the roasting pan as well. Try a wedge of cabbage, new potatoes, onion, carrots, etc. You may need to add a little more beer with your vegetables.

Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

that sounds tasty! I wish i had tried that! just an FYI, I ended up making hash out of my leftovers, using a recipe from the same site and it was delicious!!
