I love corned beef and making your own can be a little expensive if you are using brisket. I discovered chuck roast or even rump roast makes a delicious, mouth watering corned beef.

Ingredients

  1. 3 poundsbrisket or chuck roast or rump roast
  2. -------------------
  3. Brine :
  4. 1 gallonspring water
  5. 1 cupkosher salt
  6. 1/2 cupbrown sugar
  7. 1/4 cuppickling spice
  8. 1 tablespoonpink curing salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all of the brine ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, occasionally stirring to incorporate the salt and sugar. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Place the meat in plastic container and add the brine making sure that the meat is completly submerged. Use an injector to inject the meat with the brine to achieve a even and complete cure. Place in the refrigerator and allow to cure for 5 to 7 days. Check at least once a day to turn and make sure the meat is still completly submerged.

  3. 3

    Place the corned beef in a pressure cooker on top of a small rack to keep the meat from touching the bottom. Add 2 cups of the brine and cook on high for 50 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release.

  4. 4

    Allow the meat to cool in it's liquid so some of the juice is reabsorbed.

  5. 5

    Use your corned beef as you will. I like using it in red flannel hash or a grilled rueben sandwich.
