ST PATRICK'S DAY -CORNED BEEF-HOW TO

Flatbush — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 06:25:27 GMT

I am cooking my flat corned beef in a crock pot on low for 8-9 hours. Easy to do. I am wondering how those of you cooking this will make it.

Will it be on the stove top? oven? or?

I also will make roasted carrots,cabbage with bacon and mashed potatoes separately. I don't like them in the crock pot with the corned beef.

HAPPY HOLIDAY TO ALL.

@Flatbush. I like your idea of the roasted veg and mashed separately. I'd like to do that too but since time is short for me on Friday the carrots & potatoes will go in the last 1/2 hour to 45 mins once the corned beef is out of the crock pot resting. I'll cook same amount of time as you on low; so convenient isn't it?!

If I am making something, I usually wonder if I can use the crock pot for it. You are right, it is so convenient.

I always make turkey legs in it too. I can purchase them all year long and they are so reasonable compared to beef.

Enjoy your Holiday meal.

@Flatbush. Same to you enjoy your meal as well. Only time we have turkey legs is the annual Renaissance Faire, how do you prepare yours in the crock pot?

@rockygems123 I just wash and pat dry, pop them in, pour some chicken stock on them. Maybe sprinkle some onion bits and some garlic too. If I am lazy, use the garlic and onion powders instead. Put on high, for 4? hours and that's it.

If you cook the vegetables separately (potatoes, cabbage, and whatever else you add)....be sure and scoop some "cornbeef WATER" out of the crockpot to use for the vegetable liquid. You don't have to wait til the meat is finished to do this....

I'm fixing this for the first time on Sunday (can't eat meat on Fridays during Lent). I've been looking up recipes to do it in a crock pot. I found several that sound good.

I do my corned beef in the crock pot too. When it is done, I strain the cooking water into a large pot and cook my cabbage, little red potatoes, carrots, celery and onion in it.

Just as @Desertdi @suggested!

last year, was the first time i froze corned beef. The price is right, right now and such a nice change of pace, from the summer burgers and hot dogs. Pressure cooker is the way to go.

@Flatbush

Years ago, I believe it was @Mothertrucker posted the absolute BEST way to make CB, baked in the oven...and I have never gone back to crock etc.

3 yrs ago, we had a CB contest.....Boiled, Crock Pot, Smoked and Baked as per the below recipe.

EVERY single person voted for this baked. My DH tried hard to sway votes to Smoker...but none of my guests would budge.

Here is her recipe, it has been shared many times on the boards.

I even started making the glaze and everyone loves it as well.

I do veggies/starch on their own.

CORNED BEEF ROASTED IN OVEN W/ APRICOT JAM GLAZE

the best way, hands down, to cook corned beef...

Drain it, throw out the packet..

Wrap the meat in heavy duty foil, place on baking sheet .place in 275 degree oven..

bake 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hr per pound..

if you like, when it is done,

glaze with a mix of apricot jam, horseradish and mustard

and broil for a few minutes..

it will be the most tender and least shrunken corned beef EVER..

We have done this for 40 years, and swear by it...

I never thought I'd like it so I've avoided it all these years. I finally made my first corned beef last year, following the package instructions to simmer for a about 3 hours. It was good, but I had nothing to compare it to. This year, I'm thinking about trying it in the oven. The instructions I read said to rinse and blanch the meat first, then put it in a baking dish, on a rack, with the package seasonings and a little water in the pan, and bake at 350* (time depends on the size). Adding veggies to the pan is optional

Since we don't eat potatoes or carrots, I'm making mashed cauliflower and steamed baby cabbages (Brussels sprouts) to accompany the corned beef.

I cook a brisket low and slow all day in the oven:

4 lb beef brisket, rinsed

4 cups chicken broth

4 cups water

3 carrots, chopped

2 ribs celery, chopped

1 onion, quartered

3 bay leaves

1 tbsp peppercorns

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1 tsp whole allspice

Cook everything in covered Dutch oven in 300 degrees oven until meat is fork-tender, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Strain cooking liquid into big bowl and skim off fat. Pour 1 cup of defatted liquid back over meat in pot and cover for 1/2 hour.

Good advice, this is how I cook the vegetables.

I LOVE corned beef!!! I cook mine in the crock pot for many hours then add the cabbage ,spuds, carrots when there is a couple hours left before the meat is done--that way the veggies aren't soggy but the cabbage gets that yummy flavor--but this year, since my loan for buying corned beef hasn't been approved yet --DD and I will make corned beef paninni sammies, and cole slaw. And maybe a beer for good luck!!!

2.99 per lb. for flat cut, here in MI. I think it's a good deal-no fat(well, just a little ribbon) or bones, just meat.

I place the corned beef in a Dutch oven (Le Creuset or Lidge), add a bit of water or stick, add potatoes and carrots, and sprinkle with pickling spices.it cooks for 2-3 hours on 350.

I used Mothertruckers oven recipe last year for my corned beef and it was excellent! Very easy, so tender and moist - perfect. This year I forgot about that recipe and made it in the crock pot along with the carrots and cabbage (at the end). The results? The corned beef was fine, but not nearly as moist as the oven method.

I'm going back to the oven method....plus I don't have to drag out my giant slow cooker! I'll cook the carrots, potatoes and cabbage separately in beef broth.

Glad you posted this great recipe again!
