    Corned Beef

    Anybody else corn their own beef? I've had mine in the brine for the last 10 days. Wife is now loading it in the pot with taters, carrots, onions and celery, cabbage is chopped up and ready to be added later. We'll have dinner about 4 pm, should be good. JW

    Never tried making our own. Too easy to just buy it. I am guessing the difference in taste is probably awesome. Mine's on the stove too, as a side note, is it OK to add green food coloring to the Modelo beer..... asking for a friend.

    I just smoked mine this morning.
    Had it marinating for 2 weeks, started a hot smokey fire, seared it, then put it in a pan, foil covered and let the heat slow down with plenty of smoke action. About 3 hours of that, then sliced it for sandwiches, pastrami/cole slaw sammiches, and pastrami rueben toasted on the grill !!
    the rueben toasted on the grill was just awesome

    Love my home made corned beef/pastrami. Equal parts Morton quickcure, healthy amount of salad grind black pepper ask a dash of rosemary. Run on thick double zip lock or vacuum bag it ( double protects from a hostile wife if one bag leaks ) and into the fridge for 10-14 days, flip twice a day.

    I have in the past, this year I grabbed a small flat and made it yesterday(I wanted reubens today!). Since it was such a small piece(3 pounds I added the cabbage right away so it could cook down. Baked it at 325 for 2 1/2 hours, came out tender and juicy! Potatoes and carrots with it.

    Idaho Mule, can you give us your recipe or is it a family secret. Would love to corn my own.

    I’ve done venison too, but I was never really happy with it. I had better luck making venison pastrami. I may have to try the Meatman spices.

    I have made my own and planned to this year but ran out of time. I normally inject the curing brine to speed up the curing time.

    An alternative to a brisket(which has become super expensive) is a round roast. Not as much fat but it makes a decent end product for sandwiches. I have also corned a sirloin tip roast where you get more fat.

    Wife and I just had the same thing - for the second night in a row.
    Two bowls last night, and 3 bowls tonight...
    Really good stuff!!!
