Categories : beef main dishes


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
corned beef -- thin-cut
pickling spices
whole carrots
whole potatoes
cabbage wedges
brown sugar

Choose good grade of thin-cut corned beef (I prefer Nathan's).

Cook in the largest pot you own. Seriously, cook in lots of water.

First, rinse corned beef and discard spices if present (old spices were
used up), or save spice packet if present. Start in cold water. Bring
to
the boil (uncovered). Simmer 1/2 hour, dump water! Yes, discarding
water
removes excess salt/nitrites.

Okay, now the actual cooking begins. Start in cold water (again? yes,
again!). Add spice packet (if none exists or since you dumped the first
batch, add new pickling spices. Bring to the boil, lower heat to low
simmer. Simmer approximately 1 hour and add peeled carrots (whole) and
unpeeled potatoes (whole), bring to simmer again and add cabbage wedges.
Simmer til veggies are tender and remove. Continue simmering til corned
beef is tender yet firm; test with fork (your forking may vary).

Remove corned beef to roasting pan fat side up, cover liberally with
brown
sugar, tent loosely with foil, and place in 325 F oven for 30-45 minutes.

Remove corned beef from oven (now place veggies in oven to reheat). Let
corned beef rest uncovered 15 minutes. With sharp knife slice thinly
across
grain, and serve with veggies, mustard, and beer.
