Grilled Corned Beef Food

GRILLED CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Soak the beef for about 30 minutes per pound and no less than 2 hours. You can do this overnight. You also need to change the water a couple times and rinse the corned beef off when you change the water.
• Place the seasonings in a pan to warm then grind them.
• Rub this on the rinsed and dried corned beef brisket.
• Corned beef is frequently sold with a spice packet you can use it in place of the spices I have listed. You want it to get deep inside so the flavors will spread.
• Braise:.
• Rinse and simmer your corned beef for 1 hour. Hopefully in Guinness and some carrots, onions, and parsnips. ;) .
• Remove meat and place on paper towels to dry. Lightly spread olive oil over corned beef. Being careful not the burn your hands.
• The liquid can be use for potaoes.
• Grill:.
• (Placing on the grill gives you smokiness and lightly browned while basting with the glaze.).
• Over high heat sear the simmered beef over high heat just to get grill marks.
• Remove to indirect heat with a drip pan below it. You can add some beer to the drip pan for some steaming.
• You want to grill your corned beef for about 1 to 2 hours at a low temperature of 250 degrees F.
• Charcoal and hardwoods will give you better flavors but you can use a gas grill. Over indirect heat and use a drip pan under the corned beef. Grill until the internal temperature of the meat reached more than 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile prepare Glaze:.
• Mix the glaze ingredients together.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
• Spread over cooked meat then proceed with cooking.
• Baste the corned beef every 30 minutes.
• Remove and let sit 10 minutes before slicing.
• Pop open a stout and serve with your favorite Irish sides.

GRILLED CABBAGE AND CORNED BEEF WEDGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Place the corned beef slices on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, 4 to 5 minutes. (The slices will contract like bacon and become dry and crisp.) Let cool slightly and tear into bite-sized pieces. (Leave the grill on.) Reserve.
• Brush the cabbage wedges generously on all 3 sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, cross-hatching each side, 8 to 10 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). The wedges should have a cooked exterior and a crunchy interior, with dark grill marks and charred edges.
• Meanwhile, mix together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, horseradish, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Reserve.
• Gently toss together the parsley, cider vinegar, carrot, scallion, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Adjust with more vinegar, oil, salt or pepper as needed.
• Cut off the core from the cabbages and place the wedges on a platter. Drizzle with about half the buttermilk dressing; serve the rest on the side. Scatter the corned beef cracklings and carrot-parsley salad on top.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sprinkle with the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add the beer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the liquid is slightly syrupy, about 8 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the corned beef, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
• Divide half of the cheese between 2 bread slices; top with the corned beef mixture, and the remaining cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 2 bread slices.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
