How To Bake Corned Beef Recipes

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE I

Steps:

• Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound or until tender.
• Add whole potatoes and carrots, and cook until the vegetables are almost tender. Add cabbage and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove meat and let rest 15 minutes.
• Place vegetables in a bowl and cover. Add as much broth (cooking liquid reserved in the Dutch oven or large pot) as you want. Slice meat across the grain.

BAKED CORNED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°.
• NOTE: 3/14 This will be salty. If you would like to reduce the saltiness of your corned beef before baking, please follow this recipe recommendations recipe#361142.
• NOTE: *If your corned beef does not include a flavor packet add 2 T peppercorns and 1/2 T coriander seeds to the dried seasonings listed above.
• Combine the flavor packet with other dried ingredients. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind to desired texture. I prefer medium or med-fine. Set aside.
• Rinse corned beef brisket well with cold water. Pat dry.
• Get out your 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Tear off a large sheet of HEAVY aluminum foil, enough to wrap, tent and enclose the corned beef.
• Place the corned beef on the foil, in a baking dish, fat side up.
• Sprinkle with seasoning mix and pat into the brisket.
• Bring the foil up & around the corned beef, do not close up the foil.
• Bake, unwrapped, for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, wrap the brisket tightly and tenting the foil but sealing it for the remainder of the time, an additional 2 hours. Feel free to check and make sure there is moisture in the foil, re-wrap and continue baking. Approximate baking time is 1 1/5 hours per pound. It may take longer depending on desired level of tenderness.
• Bake to an internal temperature of 185°. Check for tenderness. Continue baking until the brisket is fork tender. It may take additional time depending on the thickness of the brisket.
• Allow the meat to rest before slicing. Cut against the grain.
• I prefer to use an electric knife to get nice thin slices.
• Serve with horseradish, a hearty rye bread, Colleen's Colcanon potatoes, and Irish Soda bread (see suggestions in the intro).
• Enjoy!

BAKED CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Open the package of corned beef. Rinse well, and put into a roasting pan. Take the seasoning pack and put the seasonings into a cheese cloth and put under the beef. Use about 1/2 cup of water to rinse out beef bag and put into the pan and cover it. Put into a slow oven (about 250 degrees) and just let it cook for about 3 hrs. Most packages of corned beef are about 3lbs. If you want more, use another pack.
• 2. While meat is cooking, prepare vegetables. I usually wedge slice the cabbage. ( Cut it in 1/2, lay flat side down and cut into wedges) Wash or peel the potatoes and carrots. My family eats the skins for more nutrition. Cut into uniform sizes, about 2inch cubes for the potatoes or small wedges (1/4 cut small potatoes) and 2-3 inch lengths for the carrots(depends on the diameter).
• 3. Par boil the vegetables. Carrots on the bottom, let cook for a few min, then the potatoes and then cabbage. I find the veggies cook faster in the oven if par-boiled first. You want them to be a little under-done so they can pick up the flavors of the meat. Take the veggies out of the pan, into a bowl to keep them from over-cooking and save the broth.
• 4. Check your beef about 2-3/4 of the 3 hr mark. If it is 'fork-tender', take it out of the oven. If not, let it cook for another 20 min. When meat looks/feels like it is almost ready to fall apart, take it out of the oven, put it on a platter, add all your veggies into the pan, check the water level. If you think it needs another 1/2 cup or so, add the broth from the pan the veggies were cooked in. (You want to have the veggies at least 1/2 way covered with broth) Put the meat back into the pan, cover it and let it finish cooking the veggies.
• 5. When everything is cooked, take the cover off and turn the temp up to about 350 for about 10 min. It will make a nice crisp to the top of your meat. Take it out, put the meat on a platter and slice away. Your veggies have the great flavor of the spices and beef cooked into them so they shouldn't need any salt but some still like more pepper added to their plates. :)
