Looking for corned beef recipe
#11
  Re: (...)
I remember a discussion here (probably around St. Patrick's day) about how you guys fixed corned beef and how you all raved about it. Could anyone share that recipe again, or point me to the discussion. I am hopeless with this search button. Ordered a couple cases of corned beef when the purveyor ran a special and I think I will put it out there for my Thursday nite league. But after the city chicken didn't go over so well last week, I am having second thoughts about how to fix it.
As always, thanks for your help!

Linda, my favorite is from a long time ago - think C2C!! It's Attie's recipe and I put it in a Chef's Journey...Home, page 187 and as far as I'm concerned the best there is!!

-----------------------
Attie remembering: “I worked in an Irish place for a while and we developed a pretty tasty and easy method for doing a kick-[censored] corned beef. When it's done, remove the meat to a rack of some sort and allow to rest and cool for a little while. The cooking liquid can then be strained, defatted and used to cook the remainder of the boiled dinner, thickened as a gravy or sauce, or just used as a jus. Good luck!”

Attie’s Corned Beef

Lay your brisket in a deep hotel pan. If the meat is too big, cut it into more manageable pieces. Then, discard the seasoning mix, if one's included. Next, throw in a couple chopped onions, a couple handfuls of garlic cloves, some whole peppercorns and a couple bay leaves. Next, in a mixing bowl, mix about half a gallon of dark beer (a good brown or stout works well) with a cup of molasses and half cup brown sugar, and pour over the meat till about 2/3 covered (supplement with water if needed). Cover tightly with foil and throw into a 350-400°F. oven. For 12 lbs. of beef, it could take upwards of 6-7 hours to cook, but start checking after about 4 hours. You want the beef at an internal temperature of 200°F. I know that may sound overcooked, but the brisket is full of tough connective tissue that won't break down until it gets to around 200°F. At that point, it'll be fork tender.

CJ’s note: Well that’s the recipe my old friend from Australia sent me. I’ve refined it a bit and this is the best corned beef I’ve ever tasted and the house smells just wonderful while it’s cooking.

Approximately a 2 1/2 lb. corned beef.
1 onion
3 cloves garlic, smashed
10-12 black peppercorns
1 Bay leaf
2 11-oz. bottles of Guinness Draught (may be a little more than needed, but we all agreed more beer can’t hurt)
1/3 cup molasses
2 T. brown sugar

I cooked mine at 375°F. After 4 hours the internal temperature had reached 210°F and was very tender. Thanks Attie, I’ve never had a better corned beef and Muenster sandwich in my life.

My favorite is the Whiskey glazed corned beef from CAH issue 62 (4/2007).

Guess who just came home with a corned beef? Guilty! I am going to try the Attie's recipe on Thursday.

Already looking forward to leftovers - Reubens and hash.

Thanks guys! I thought it was baked slow, not boiled like I normally do. The beer and molasses sounds wonderful. Maybe if I call it "Guinness Corned Beef" it will sell more

Have some brisket in the fridge for corned beef right now. It will be ready Tuesday.

HERE is the thread where I posted a link to the recipe I use and some notes from the experience.

This is SO much better than any store-bought corned beef I've ever had.
