Corned Beef

Drew · 12-19-2010, 03:31 AM

First attempt at corned beef.
Soaked in water for two hours and then made a rub of peppercorns, coriander seeds, onion powder, thyme, garlic powder and paprika.
Rubbed, wrapped and into the fridge overnight.

Took 6 hours at 300F to reach 185F inside.

I came out pretty good, I normally just boil corned beef..... Not any more!

It was so tender that it was falling apart as I sliced.

Nice job, looks great

That looks like your pastrami started out as a corned round roast. I really like those and keep an eye out for them. They don't have a heavy fat cap like a corned brisket, but you can see the even marbeling of fat in my photo (this one had been chilled).

That looks great, Drew! We have one store around here hat regularly carries corned rounds instead of briskets. As Thirdeye said, they don't have as much fat as a brisket, so they can dry out very easily. It looks like yours was perfect!

BTW, technically you made pastrami, which is smoked corned beef.

Looks fantastic!

Groundhog66 · 12-19-2010, 11:47 AM

Oh yeah, I would love that right now. Just add cabbage and spuds, Mmmmmm.

Looks very good,probably tasted better!

Beautiful!

Mister Bob · 12-19-2010, 01:32 PM

That really looks great! I haven't seen a corned round before, I'll have to ask my butcher.

Wrench_H · 12-19-2010, 01:43 PM

Looks good to me. I'll take some rye bread, swiss cheese and kraut with mine. Nice work.

Drew · 12-19-2010, 03:46 PM

Thanks everyone, I am a fan of corned beef (or in this case pastrami

)
The other plus is that it is very cheap over here. $9 normally gets you one that is around 4lb.
I had already sliced a fair amount for tea (pastrami and sauerkraut sandwiches) before I remembers to take pics

landarc · 12-19-2010, 03:50 PM

That is a good looking hunk of meat you cooked there

Old Smoke · 12-19-2010, 03:56 PM

Looks good from waaaaaay over here.

aquablue22 · 12-19-2010, 03:58 PM
