Corned Beef Trio

[squirtthecat]

St Paddy's day... And it's 75° and sunny! (when I started this, ended up 62 and raining sideways)

Gonna be "the mowing of the green" tomorrow. Sheesh.

Time to fire the MAK. 2 corned beef flats, some Guinness, and Garlic Salt Lick. Yes, I'm serious.

First one gets trimmed and dumped into the Dublin Tub.

2nd one gets a little Driftwood Pastrami treatment.

Sentry-in-training is keeping an eye on the squirrels.

Couple hours later.. Getting some nice color now.

I'll probe them around 3 and see if they need to be foiled or not.


Meanwhile... My attempts to core a cabbage were a complete failure, so I ended up butchering it, a bunch of red potatoes, and a corned beef point that I steamed last night. (also with a can of Guinness)

Everybody into a deep pan with some chicken broth.

Tossed him in the MAK to render some of that fat out of the point, then I'll foil it tight to steam the veggies.

We'll check back in a while.

Corned Beef Trio cont.

Time to cover this one up and let the veggies steam..

We had some huge storms rolled in, so I had to cut this short. I foiled the CBs around 145° and let everything hang out in the crockpots until our guests arrived.

The Salt Lick Garlic CB was killer good...

So much good looking St. Patty's Day food and so little time to eat it all. We need to consider expanding the celebration time to at least a week. I cooked enough corned beef (I hope) to last about a week. I tried brining my first corned beef. The sample I tried was really good without being too salty. Great flavor from the spices. That 14 pound brisket may not make it as far as I would like. I guess I'll just have to do another one sometime. It may be pastrami time again soon.
