Jewish Corned Beef Roast Recipes

JEWISH GRANDMA'S BEST BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, not burnt, but dark. Lift the roast and scatter the onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions. Repeat the browning process.
• Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork tender.
• Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

KOSHER CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Wash and towel dry brisket. Trim slightly but retain most of the fat (for flavor). Combine garlic with an equal amount of salt. Rub thoroughly over entire brisket. Set aside. In a bowl, combine water, (remaining) salt, brown sugar, & pickling spices. Insure all sugar and salt are dissolved. Add in beer (10-12 oz is preferred amt). Pierce brisket with paring knife or fork over all sides. Rerub garlic and salt mix coating. Place brisket into strong kitchen storage bag. Add mixture of liquids and spices & turn bag to insure total coverage of the meat. Eliminate as much air as possible from bag. Lay flat on platter or in a pan in refrigerator for 6-8 days. Turn bag over 1-2 times daily. DO NOT SNEAK ANY SNIFFS INTO THE BAG. IT WILL RUIN THE BRINING OF THE MEAT!!!!! Remove meat from bag. Rinse thoroughly under cold water. Do not remove excess fat yet. Heat by either steaming (preferred) or simmering until heated through. Add additional pickling spices to water for final flavoring. Trim fat to preference. Slice cross-grain to approx 1/8 inch. Serve with slightly heated Jewish Rye (with seeds) + coarse mustard for the perfect sandwich. Remember, although it tastes great, adding swiss cheese is NOT kosher. Enjoy.
