Corned Beef

[Dark Cloud]

Well... the pressure cooker corned beef turned out awesome!!!

My parents said "best they ever had".

I picked up a chunk of corned beef called a 'round'?

put her in the pressure cooker with 3 cups of water and that little spice packed. Cooked it at 1-lbs of pressure for 60 minutes. Then added carrots, taters, onions, and cabbage. Brought it back up to 10 pounds of pressure and cooked it for 6 minutes.

I was skeptical but everything was perfect!

Only drawback from a traditional boiled dinner was the broth was no good. There was liquid in the pot when it was done cooking but it was terrible - salty and a bad spicy. Make sure you put the meat/veggies up on a little rack...

Back to the good stuff - the meat was super tender and very juicy!

The pressure cooker is looking like a good way to go!

of course the corned beef didn't get marked down yet. wait a week or so and it will, depending on who has the most left over. some of that expensive stuff will be the first to get marked down. corned beef usualy has a long code date in most cases. good luck.

FYI - On my way home tonight stopped by the Rainbow on 96 & Hodgson in Shoreview and they have their corned beef for $1.99/lb, freeze/use by dates were mid May. Mostly all were flats and they had about 30 of them left after I came through...

thanks for the heads up. the cub by my house still has plenty of two brands left and i've been keeping an eagle eye out on those. the one's i've been lookin at have a code date in the first week of June. i'll have to check the rainbow out by my house as well. good luck.

Made some corned beef last weekend. Seems everyone is clearing them out for $1.99. Wish my Mom was still around... she did a baked corned beef w/ brown sugar crust. Fantastic! Would love to know how she pulle dit off.

I did it so some of those flavors were in there. Took the corned beef out of package and rinsed it and patted dry w/ paper towel. Spead the seasoning packet over the meat and patted on a 1/4" thick coating of brown sugar. Put in crock pot and poured and entire Guiness beer around it. Cut some red potatoes into wedges and cut up a couple of carrots to put in there. Cooked over low for 4 hours, took the meat out the crock pot, and put it in a small baking pan with a little of the juice. sprinkled a little more brown sugar on it and put it in the oven at 350 for 45 min.... in the crock I added a whole head of cabbage that I cut into 6 wedges. Let it cook for the 45 mins the meat is in the oven.

Turned out fantastic. Not quite what I remember from my youth, but the beer and sugar make a great juice for the potatoes and cabbage and to dunk some good ol' rye bread in! The couple of lunches I brought to work were almost robbed!

Good Luck!
