    I admit I skipped my own brining but I made this yesterday with a store bought corned beef brisket. To the water I added the spice packet included with the brisket, along with peppercorns, bay leaf and garlic. After the beef cooked I strained the broth, and cooked the veggies as instructed, 7 minutes for the potatos and carrots, another 15 minutes for the cabbage. It was easily the best corned beef and veggies I've ever made. No more boiling a corned beef for me, and the veggies were absolutely PERFECT. Tender but firm, the cabbage was amazing. This is my new St Pats go to. Next year I'll do my own brine. Thank you for such a great recipe.

    I've made this recipe thrice myself - this winter twice alone - and believe me when I say it, this is a recipe you need part of your repertoire. It is basically effortless, sit and wait, albeit impatiently.
    My Irish American friend wants me to make a couple of these for his St. Patrick's Day celebration this year because he says this is better than his father and grandfather ever made (he said he'll deny he ever said that if I mention it in front of his family members, so you know they take their corned beef and cabbage pretty seriously).

      I made this too and it was by far the best corned beef ever, including Katz's. I only used two thirds the salt (they use 4.6%, I used 3%) and substituted the allspice berries with equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. It was so good I just bought a whole prime grade brisket from Creekstone farms. Thanks ATK!!

  • @JACKnJESUS
    @JACKnJESUS 3 года назад +143

    I'll give up one of my secrets. Every time I make corned beef to new guests...they cannot understand why mine tastes so much better. Forget using water in the cast iron pot...replace it 100% with Guinness beer. Cook as you would with this recipe...though I cook at 300 for 3 hours...usually. Then cook your veggies in the beer (add more beer if needed) once you take the beef out to rest. The Guinness makes everything taste better.

      @David, do you mean the new show produced by Kimball? Personally, I do not want to see him anywhere near ATK productions. He is more a liability than an asset -- an opinionated, smug, and fixated-in-the-past character of irrelevance. Some people do not know when to let go. It happens a lot in the business world, when an establishment becomes successful and the founder(s) refuse(s) to pass on the torch to the next generation -- a sure recipe for doom.
      In my humble opinion, ATK should become an employee-owned entity, where the staff's great work will be duly rewarded.

    Our family does it a little different; instead of water to simmer the corned beef we use beer (Budweiser) and, we leave it on the stove, the rest including the veggies is basically the same. We might throw parsnips and or turnips, in with the carrots and potatoes. BUT, the best part is when you take the corned beef out of pot, it goes on a baking sheet and, a whiskey (half the family like Old Granddad, the other likes Jameson) and brown sugar slurry/glaze and then put in the oven (oven door cracked open) and it is basted every 10 minutes till the glaze is really thick. OMG I am salivating lol so glad grandpa's birthday 15 days away

    Our local Safeway often times has untrimmed tri-tip in a twin pack for under $4 per lb. I trim them up and grill one and make corned beef with the other. Corned tri-tip is very good. This recipe works well and you don't have to heat the brine and then cool it as with many other. I usually add some juniper berries as well.

    I haven’t tried this recipe, but I’ve been making my own corned beef for the last 4 years or so using Alton Brown’s recipe, and the home made corned beef is far and away so, so SO much better than anything you can buy outside of a few great New York Delis. I haven’t compared the recipes, but it seems (just from memory) that Alton Brown’s recipe has a few more spices - like juniper berries, which I think add a very nice tang (like that “slam, bam, tang reminiscent of gin and vermouth”, for you Broadway musical fans).

    I've been making Cook's Illustrated corned beef & cabbage for years using the dry brining method you published back then. I love the EVEN simpler method you have offered here. One of my challenges was having to be in the house every day for 6 days straight to turn the meat over (hard when I was travelling for work). Now corned beef becomes accessible even when I have to hit the road for a week. LOVE the improvement and I'll be doing it again soon using the better technique. Thanks Julia & Bridget.

  • @suemiller6628

    I just made this and everything was terrific. I was lucky enough to be able to grab carrots and potatoes fresh from the garden and the bay leaves were home grown as well. The vegetables came out perfectly seasoned and tender but firm. I used the flat of the brisket but I'm anxious now to try the heavily marbled point which is waiting in the freezer. It was the perfect meal to serve guests when you want something with flexible timing that pretty much cooks in one pot.

    @d.mansfield6315 3 года назад +3

    I have used this recipe multiple times and it's a keeper! I've used London Broil and various beef roasts plus the traditional Brisket; there is no doubt that the quality of the meat decides the quality of the end product so Brisket is best. How much money one saves doing this themselves is open to question but there is no doubt that the quality is far superior to anything offered in the supermarkets. It's also wise to follow the cooking method for the finished product these two ladies offer.

    I've never corned my own beef, but I discovered last year that my air fryer makes the best, most intensely-flavored corned beef I've ever had! I live alone, but had to make 2 within a week's time last March. (To be fair, they were small, and I shared some from each batch with friends.) However, I MUST make this recipe.

  • @randmayfield5695
    @randmayfield5695 3 года назад +4

    Take the spices and cook shortly in one quart of water, cool, then add back to the brine. This releases the oils in the spice making them more efficient in flavoring the brine meat mixture.

      I do miss a New England boiled dinner too. If you are creative and adventurous, you can make it a surf-and-turf dish by cooking a North Atlantic lobster in the savory liquid part way before you add all the vegetables. What I like about having a New England boiled dinner once in a while is that it is CLEAN, and your digestive system will love you for that.

    I bought my wife their cookbook, well I gave it to her but I bought for myself, she knows that so all is good. The test kitchen cookbook is wonderful. They do things a bit odd at times, and they explain why they do them oddly, great science and helpful. The hints and science can help you make your recipes jump over the moon. Easy to understand, I would recommend you buy it. And no I am not affiliated with the cooking channel or test kitchen.
    I also have been cooking since I was quite young. I came up with my first recipe of chocolate chip cookies when I was 5 years old. They are still excellent. I used the same ingredients as on the Tollhouse recipe, just mixed differently and melted the butter, not hot. When I give the recipe out, people do not follow my directions and insist that I didn't give them the correct recipe "Because you do not make cookies like that". Too bad, one lady was very angry with me.
    RUclips has a problem lately, I have to pull everything in 3 or more times before the Black screen stops and I am allowed to view. This is the only site that has this issue so I presume it is youtube.

They love that I only eat a small portion of this 6lb brisket. (Little do they know I shaved off 3/4 lb for reubens... which I make with my own homemade saurkraut) ;)

      @@0318rudeboy very simple. Melt an amount of butter on a medium heat in a saucepan or low frying pan. Add an equal amount of flour. ie: a quarter cup of each. Cook the flour for a few minutes until the raw flour smell is gone. Add cold milk or cream, whisking as you go. Keep adding liquid until it is smooth and creamy. I sometimes sub some dry white vermouth for some of the milk. Season to taste. When it reaches desired consistency, turn off an cover and then serve. This sauce is very versatile and you can add cheese to make a cheese sauce, sautéed onions and mushrooms. Adding blue cheese makes a great sauce for gnocchi.

    Herman the German taught us to glaze the brisket with brown sugar and mustard and then bake for 10-15 minutes in a 450 degree oven. That's the way to do it. Carrots, taters, cabbage, or maybe a rutabaga casserole with some soda bread. Good stuff. I make it by soaking a store bought corned brisket in water overnight, then pressure cook for 90 minutes.

    pink curing salt (Nitrite) serves a vital public health function: it
    blocks the growth of botulism-causing bacteria and
    prevents spoilage. it's not just for the pink color and taste. also how much curing salt, depends on the weight and thickness of the meat as well as how much water is used. please don't get people sick by not knowing the proper measurements or length of curing time.

      People hear the words, "sodium", "salt", "nitrite", etc., and don't understand that the range of compounds under such categories are extremely broad.
      A good example is in the hair care world. There are many different chemicals called "alcohol" and they can be highly astringent to the precise opposite. In haircare alcohols are used as beneficial smoothing agents BUT consumers shun them as they've been incorrectly advised that alcohols are drying agents.
      Same in cooking. There are irreplaceable salts that serve us quite well and when used properly pose absolutely no threat.
      People have become "dumb educated".

      If you cut the carrots in half, a small head of cabbage into 8 pieces (small cabbage, not a huge one), and cut the potatos to the same size (I used red, they were big so I cut them in half), and follow the recipe instructions for 7 minutes, then 15 more after adding the cabbage, you will have perfect veggies. They were absolutely perfectly cooked.

    America's Test Kitchen is the definitive expert in comparison cooking techniques.... which is why i'm so disappointed they didn't cook one in a pressure cooker. Corned beef is such a tough cut of meat, the pressure cooker seems like the perfect vehicle for a fork tender end result.

    • @ownpetard8379
      @ownpetard8379 5 лет назад

      The "pink salt" is there to preserve the color (actually brighten it - so it is really artificial). Nitrites (and nitrates) are NOT good for you. So, one benefit of making your own would be to avoid the nitrites that are in the commercial version. And to be clear, the beef is "corned" by the regular salt. Can use sea salt for more nutrients.
      I would always cut the garlic buttons - one is getting a tiny fraction of the garlic flavor without doing so.

    Always sear the outside of the corned beef after the initial cooking. Looks beeter, tastes better, and has a better texture.
    Shred the leftovers and the next moring grate a few potatoes and sear for REAL corned beef hash.

      AFTER the initial cooking?
      I'm trying to figure out how to do that. Would you rub a fat onto it and then sear after it's cooked? I can't figure out how that would work.
      I'm making a slow bake one today and I was contemplating a sear PRIOR to baking to capture some fond and also keep the brisket from getting flabby.

      I made one today and DID high heat searing first time ever on a brisket. They sure make their presence known when the brisket hits that pan! NOTHING else sizzles THAT loud on sear.
      Slow baked in covered speckled enamel roaster (real nice lid and drip grooves) at 210° for 4 hours and 375° for 30 minutes. Came out DIVINE! I used brown sugar & mustard powder for rub prior to hitting the sear and then ginger ale for braising liquid.
      I cut the fat cap off this time ELSE I might have tried the torch. The fat that was still, I thought, brownable, I zapped with the broiler for 4 minutes which, to my amazement, made it actually melt rather than just crisp. It actually made the brisket a big greasy for my taste but perhaps overnight it will settle nicely.
      It's going to be hard to resist that brisket for a whole day but, as I'm sure you know, the first plated bites ALWAYS end with the disappearance of the whole darn brisket in NO time.
      They seem to need to do more than "rest" after cooking. They seem to need a long snooze to get perfect so hopefully it'll last 'til tomorrow.

      Southeastern Ohio Honey Bees & BBQ The grocery stores sell corned beefs and all the fixin’s very cheaply around St. Patrick’s day. Point cuts about $1.50/lb. You can’t find any other cuts of beef for that price. Oh, and points taste every bit as good as flats, but a bit irregular in shape. They’re also a bit fattier and moister. Neither are lean cuts, but it’s only once a year. And I wouldn’t disparage pre-made corned beefs as salt licks. You can change the water or use more water in a bigger pot if that’s an issue for you.

    Can you do a roast corned beef? A TV show years ago highlighted a fire station that started to do corned beef, then they got called out. Hours later they came back and changed plans to roast the meat, and bread-crumb coat the cabbage. I mimicked this and added a Dijon Mustard sauce and it was fantastic. Then ... I forgot how I did it.
