Slow Cooked Corned Beef For Sandwiches Recipes

SLOW COOKED CORNED BEEF FOR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the corned beef briskets into a large pot. Sprinkle in one of the spice packets, and discard the other one or save for other uses. Pour in the beer, and fill the pot with enough water to cover the briskets by 1 inch. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns and garlic cloves. Cover, and bring to a boil.
• Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 4 to 5 hours, checking hourly, and adding more water if necessary to keep the meat covered.
• Carefully remove the meat from the pot, as it will be extremely tender. Set on a cutting board, and allow it to rest until it firms up a bit, about 10 minutes. Slice or shred to serve. I discard the cooking liquid, but it can be used to cook cabbage and other vegetables if desired.

CORNED BEEF FOR SANDWICHES IN A SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Place brisket, fat-side down, into a slow cooker. Cover with hot water and cook on High for 1 hour. Drain and discard water from the slow cooker.
• Add peppercorns, cloves, cayenne, and cinnamon to a tea ball or spice bag. Place in the slow cooker with beer, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Add more water to just cover the brisket.
• Cook on Medium for 5 hours. Remove brisket carefully; it will be very tender and may fall apart or break in half. Let meat rest before slicing.

CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• Place the water in a large 6- to 8-quart stockpot along with the salt, sugar, pink salt, 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, stirring until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45°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 leak-proof container, cover, and refrigerate for 5 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine. I like to flip the bag and give the brine a quick massage every day, but that's just me...
• After 5 to 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water.
• For slow cooker: Place the brisket into a large slow cooker, add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cover with 1 inch of water, about 2 quarts. Cover and cook on high for 8 hours.
• For stovetop: Place the brisket into a large pot, add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cover with 1 inch of water, about 2 quarts. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce 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. Serve on toasted rye bread or in corned beef and cabbage. Store any uncut leftovers in the cooking liquid.

CORNED BEEF ROAST (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry the corned beef. Place in slow cooker fat side up (I like to use a cooking bag, it's up to you).
• 2. Sprinkle with the seasoning packet and/or mixed pickling spices. I think I used about 2 tsp for a 3 3/4 lb roast. If your mix does not contain bay leaves, consider crumbling up one dried bay leaf and adding it - I think bay leaves add a lot of flavor.
• 3. Cover with the sliced onion, if using. Insert a wired meat thermometer if you have one (highly recommended).
• 4. Time to cook depends on the size of your crockpot and the size of your roast. In my 5 quart crockpot, my 3 3/4 lb roast took 6 hours on Low to reach 196 degrees. You want it to reach between 195 and 205 degrees to melt collagen and make a tender roast. My crockpot was not half full, so the cooking time is relatively short. if your crockpot is larger, it may take even less time.
• 5. Let roast rest 10-15 minutes before slicing. For best slicing results, wrap leftover roast in foil, place on platter in fridge and weigh it down - this compacts the meat for even better slicing the next day.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
