How you cooking your corned beef?

[206]

Grew up with the boil method and have done since, but have hearing more and more about steam baked with BEER. 

Cured my own Cash&Carry brisket a few years ago.  It cost more than store bought and was too salty, but some day I may try again since it does have potential.

That's my prefered method.  Just have to remember to get up early to get it started.  I put the spuds and the carrots in at the same time.  Cabbage I steam first and then let it sit in the pot with the rest of the goodies as I let it rest for a half hour or so before serving.

I've got a machine down and didn't make my plans for our St. Patty's dinner in advance.  Went to Costco and they had a 3#er pre-cooked you just throw in the microwave for 18 minutes.  I knew I was going to regret it, but I bought one anyway.  It was actually great!!!  Sliced it medium and then fried it in butter and peanut oil real quick just to give it a little edge crispiness.  Very surprised it was as good as it was.  Might have to purchase a few more for those days we get home late and nobody wants to cook.  Won't replace our traditional method for most occasions.  But one heck of a lot better than a TV dinner or Campbell's soup.  Made some killer Ruben's for lunch too!

My grand parents use to do boiled dinner in a pressure cooker. I miss the sounds and smells of cooking that way!

My Mama made Cornbeef and cabbage dinner for us, it was glorious.

My corned beef turned out exactly the way I DIDN'T want it to. I've crock potted and boiled corned beef plenty of times successfully and they both work great. However... I don't like it when I cook it too long where the dang thing falls apart in a million pieces . I like my corned beef tender, but firm. I know better too. Uhhh!! I did redeem myself with my traditional Irish colcannon. Lumpy mashed potatoes with shredded cabbage, onion, butter, milk, salt and pepper all mixed together... yum.

first i put the corned beef in my slow cooker then i add 2 bottles of guiness in the crock pot. Then i add a shot or 2 of water then turn it on high for 3 hours then turn it on slow to simmer for 5 hours. pretty easy and its all gone at the end of the night lol

I simmered in water for about 3 hours.  Very Good.

Tonight was (Irish Tacos) corned beef in a tort with apple/cabbage slaw.  yum
