CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
• After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Line a roasting pan with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, enough to wrap the meat tightly.
• Rinse the corned beef and pat it dry. Place it on the foil. Arrange the onion and orange slices over and around the meat. Sprinkle on the pickling spices, lay on the celery stalks, and pour on the water. Wrap very tightly and pinch the edges well to seal.
• Bake the corned beef for 4 hours, or until a few bubbles begin to escape.

CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Place vinegar, sugar, and sauce into the crockpot. Add about a cup of water and blend all the ingredients.
• Add silverside, and add enough water to cover. Cook on high for at least 4 hours, adding the carrots for the last hour.
• I like to leave mine simmering in the crockpot for asd long as possible, all day is best, but 4 hours is enough.
• To serve, cut the meat against the grain, and serve with the carrots, and some mashed potatoes, green beans, and white sauce. Yum!
