Corned Beef Recipe

[lovebigbluegills]

Somebody mentioned corned beef the other day, and I thought I'd post a recipe on here.

I've used this recipe more with venison roasts than I have beef, but either way it's very good.

Corned Beef

3 lbs meat

4 tbsp Morton's tender quick

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp ground black pepper

1 tsp ground paprika

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp ground bay leaves

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then rub thoroughly on all sides of meat. Place meat in a large ziploc bag and store in fridge for 8 days. Overhaul every second day. Place cured meat in a pan and cover with water. Add 1 tsp pickling spices. Cover and simmer (NEVER boil) for 4 hours in oven.

My 4 year old granddaughter loves making corned beef. She reminds me every other day that it's time for her to get the meat out and re-rub the spices into it. It's a great "responsibility" for her.

Never simmered anything IN an oven. What temp do you need to get to? I had a pie pan of water in oven at 350 and it never bubbled. Help please.

Something like a covered roaster or dutch oven with lid works, your goal is to simmer or braise things like corned beef, beef ribs etc., I braised some pork country ribs (from the shoulder) yesterday afternoon. We have two roasters with glass lids, they are neat because you just look in and adjust the oven temp so the broth is just bubbling.

At my altitude water boils at 202°, but when you have meat, veggies and broth in there it takes about 250° (my dutch oven takes a lower oven temp).

I've never made homemade Corned Beef but would love to try. I've always heard it's best made with brisket (traditional corned beef anyway) but I don't have one of those around. However I have a lot of Chuck and Rump roasts in my freezer. I'm guessing it would be just as good? Also, would a crock pot on low do the job?
