I've always gone the traditional way but I wanted to try something different this year, if that's even possible.

 

My recipe:

One 3-pound corned beef brisket (uncooked), in brine

16 cups cold water

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons black peppercorns

4 whole allspice berries

2 whole cloves

1/2 large head green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into 8 thick wedges

8 small new potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved

Freshly ground black pepper

That pretty much is the staple, and I'm Irish. I did have a "salted" CB Brisket one year instead of the brine soak, as I guess the Brine would be more dilutted??? I switched to the shredded angel hair cabbage last year, as it absorbs more flavor than the wedges.

If you want to go out and party then come back to munch

 

1-3+some# beef Brisket

20-small boiling onion--Birdseye in your Grocers freezers

10-medium carrots

10-small red potatoes

2-bay leaves

1-12oz. live amber beer

3-T Dijon Mustard

3-T molasses-2t black peppercorns

2-large cloves garlic-I put more

1-small 1 1/2 pound cabbage

5-T Dijon mustard

 

1-Trim fat off brisket, cut brisket in half. Place onions and next 3 ingredients in a 6 1/2 quart crock pot; place brisket on top of veggies.

 

2-Combine spice packet from brisket, beer, 3 T mustard, molasses, peppercorns and garlic in a bowl-stir well using a whisk. Pour mixture over brisket. Cover with lid; cook on high setting for 1 hour. Reduce to low setting for six hour(now go to nearest bar). Add cabbage; cover and cook 1 hour until cabbage is tender. Remove bay leaves.

 

3-Cut brisket across grain into thin slices. With remaining mustard top brisket--enjoy

 

No cook-cooking--it's is almost the same recipe as above just a slight different liquid

To actually "make" corned beef, you would have to start the "beef" weeks ahead of time, as it's like smoking or "aging", hence why people buy it already "corned".

Mines been "corning" since Wednesday.

 

1 cup of kosher salt

1 cup of brown sugar

1.5 tbsp of whole coriander

1.5 tbsp of whole mustard seeds

1.5 tbsp of whole black peppercorns

1.5 tbsp of whole allspice

4 sprigs of marjoram

4 sprigs of thyme

2 bay leaves

 

edit: I forgot to add that you need to put it all in a big bowl with water and let the brisket remain submerged, cover, and refrigerate.

So how does that work? Do you throw the shredded cabbage in at the end? But then wouldn't you lose the roundness of flavor that the cabbage adds to the broth through the slow cooking process? :D

All I can say is the CB taste the same, but the shredded cabbage taste much better that the wedges.

I go to my favorite butcher shop, buy 2-3 lbs of their corned beef. Stop by the bakery on the way home for some marbled pumpernickel then to get some good slaw. Take 1/3-1/2 lb of corned beef(sliced thin at the butchers) and heep on marbled pump. slathered with sweet and spicy mustard and top that with coleslaw. No that's a samwich to write home about. Put a large dill pickle on the side and wash down with an amber ale. Rinse and repeat :D
