Andrew Zimmern Cooks: Corned Beef
This recipe is one of my favorites, the sticky bourbon-molasses glaze gives the meat an irresistible touch of sweetness that balances out the brine. And it is perfect to celebrate St. Patrick 's day!
Brining your own corned beef at home is easy, all you need is the right equipment and time, about 7 to 10 days—therefore thinking ahead is imperative. Beyond the pink salt, which can be found at a butcher shop or on Amazon, you probably have the spices in your cabinets already. If you buy a pre-brined brisket from the grocery store, skip the first step.
For an easy side dish, simmer vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, potatoes and carrots in the poaching broth while you glaze the corned beef.

Corned Beef
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 10 days 3 hr 20 min
Prep: 20 min
Inactive: 10 days
Cook: 3 hr
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
2 quarts water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons saltpeter
1 cinnamon stick, broken into several pieces
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
8 whole allspice berries
12 whole juniper berries
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pounds ice
1 (4 to 5 pound) beef brisket, trimmed
1 small onion, quartered
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
Directions
Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

How To Make Corned beef.TheScottReaProject.
Making Corned Beef, I show the whole process, from choosing the ideal cut of meat, to making your own brine/cure, curing your chosen beef joint, then cooking it to tender perfection.its easier than you think.
A NOTE ON SALTPETRE.....This is a very old recipe, and the amount of saltpetre reflects the era of the recipe 1950s-1960. According to modern practices, this amount of saltpetre is slightly high for present times.I would suggest, if your at all concerned, to lower the amount of saltpetre in this exact recipe to 0.5 ozs instead of 2 ozs, just to bring it up to date, and more in line with modern day production.
Either way it will taste great.many thanks.
