Home Cured Corned Beef

March 31, 2015

You can make your own corned beef instead of buying that stuff in the stores with all the chemicals. This is just like my Mom would buy from our local Jewish grocer.

6 1/2 cups water
1 bottle Guinness stout
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cinnamon stick, broken in pieces
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
8 whole allspice berries
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 (4 to 5 lb.) beef brisket, trimmed

Place water in a large stockpot along with the salt, sugar, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar are dissolved....
