Brad's homemade corned beef brisket

This is another drawn out recipe that takes a week to prepare. But is sooo good. I prepared this for dinner on superbowl Sunday. And probably proceeded to eat way too much of it. 🤣 #superbowl. This curing brine will cure up to 9 lbs of meat.
Brad's homemade corned beef brisket
This is another drawn out recipe that takes a week to prepare. But is sooo good. I prepared this for dinner on superbowl Sunday. And probably proceeded to eat way too much of it. 🤣 #superbowl. This curing brine will cure up to 9 lbs of meat.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine all of the ingredients for the brine in a large soup pot, except for the Prague powder.
- 2
Bring brine just to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and let return to room temperature. When cooled, add Prague powder and mix well.
- 3
During this time, lay brisket out on a cutting board. Trim excess fat off of outside of brisket. You don't have to remove all fat, just the large chunks. Leave a bit. This helps to keep the meat from drying out while cooking.
- 4
Place brisket in a non reactive container. Nothing metal. I've used anything from large Tupperware to sanitary food grade buckets. Just whatever you use, make sure the brine covers the meat completely. If needed, use another object to keep the meat submerged in the brine. Brine for 7 days in the refrigerator. Once a day, shake container and check that meat is still submerged.
- 5
When meat is cured, or corned in this case, remove from brine. Do not rinse. Reserve 1/2 cup of brine.
- 6
In a large roasting pan, add beer and 2 cups water. Add reserved 1/2 cup brine. Lay brisket in pan. Sprinkle pickling spice on top. Cover and bake in oven at 300 degrees F for 4-5 hrs. Flip over half way through cooking.
- 7
Cut potatoes in half. Quarter cabbage. Remove core, and cut Quarters in half.
- 8
After 4 or 5 hrs your meat should start to get tender. Flip over again. Add carrots, potatoes, and cabbage. Cover again and roast for another 1 1/2-2 hrs.
- 9
Remove from oven when potatoes are tender. Plate cabbage and carrots. Lay a piece of brisket on top. Serve potatoes on the side. Add horseradish for dipping. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

The key here is cooking the meat and vegetables separately. This is how the Irish Pubs and restaurants do it. This helps to retain all the unique and original flavors of each part of the meal. Throw away the seasoning packet provided with the beef and use your own better quality spice ingredients. Serve with a side of stony-ground mustard(s) or a creamy horseradish sauce.[*Leftover beef & potatoes can be used to make fresh "corned beef hash" for breakfast; as seen on better restaurant's menus.] Rick M -
