Corning Beef for St. Patrick's Day

[cowgirlone]

Anyone else have their briskets corning for St. Patrick's day? There's still time.

Corned Beef
4-6lb brisket
5 Tbs Tender Quick
2 Tbs brown sugar
1Tbs pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground bay leaves
1 tsp allspice
3 cloves chopped garlic

Mix all and rub into brisket. Place in plastic bag and let it sit in the fridge for 5 days per inch of meat. To cook, sprinkle with 2 TBs pickling spice, add water to cover, simmer on low til tender. (you can add red pepper flakes or whole dried red chilis)

I usually have to make this several times during the year, these are great on the smoker too (pastrami).

Yum! I've always wanted to make my own corned beef, but never have. Next year for sure, I will, though! Looks like a great recipe.

Corned venison is MUCHMUCHMUCH better, none of that nasty fat! DB gave me a venison roast from his deer and I am under orders to fix corned venison for us, for next weekend. And Guiness stout, too.

Celtic Pork Roll from County Mayo


1/4 cup Jew Pork

1/2 cup kosher butter

1/8 cup sugar

3 bowls of lightly stirred lard


cook for 4 hrs at 500 degress.

season to taste


And you have Jew Pork Roll's ( I know it sounds racialist and all but like the JewFish delicacy, it's a hereditary name from county Mayo)

Is it spring break already? I thought we agreed to keep the pre-schoolers locked up for the season.

Eating a Jew Pork roll in Jew York City on St. Pats day is great.

"1/4 cup Jew Pork "


What exactly is Jew Pork, Franklin?

This corned beef recipe sounds great. I am confused about how long to leave it in the fridge. Five days per inch if it is 6 inches that is 30 days. Won't it go bad?

Dawndra-
Franklin Philly is one of our newest trolls here. Judging by the websites he has referenced in other posts, I suspect he likes his haircut as high and tight as they come.

Gayle, I never tried venison this way but I use boneless, no fat round roast about 2" thick.

Gayle, "Beef" round, that is !

Hi Josephine! I've never used a brisket that thick!! That would take forever! :haha: The briskets I use are about 2 inches, I think they are called the "flat". When I do smoke a large whole brisket, I like to cut the top layer off of the thick end so that it will cook in the same amount of time....I think this would work just fine for brining a large one. I've never brined one for more than 9 or 10 days.

Gayle, you are so right, corned venison is awesome!

Franklin, I think you are on the wrong board....this is a homesteading forum. We're here to share ideas about country living.

My mistake! I thought you meant length not thickness! :haha:
