Irish American Classics
March is here and with it the opportunity to enjoy some Irish-American classics. Have you ever tried making your own Corned Beef? If you've marinated meat, and slow-cooked a roast, then you have all the skills necessary to make corned beef. Homecooked corned beef is oh so tasty! The good news is that it's not complicated. There are some great recipes out there, but we have collected some favorites on our Discover Blog to make it easy to find.
One thing you'll notice if you do this yourself. The "traditional pink" coloring of corned beef is not natural. That bright pink color is from producers adding the preservative sodium nitrite. If you must have the pink color in your corned beef, we'd recommend using a natural ingredient like beet juice or purple cabbage to give it that appearance. Either way, you're in charge in the kitchen so make it your own. There is also a common misconception that corned beef must have something to do with corn. "Corned" actually refers to the size and shape of the salt chunks that were used to cure the beef back in the early days. Those salt chunks are referred to as "corns". OK, so you've decided to make your own brine. You might be wondering what makes the best cuts of beef for Corned Beef? We've got answers to those questions and many more on our Discover Blog.
Not everyone will want to brine their own beef brisket. It does take time to make the brine and at least a couple days to marinate properly, so in that case we have have just the ticket. Over several years, we've perfected our all-natural recipe for making Corned Beef. It's delicious if we do say so ourselves - but lots of other people say so too. So, if you're short on time this St. Patrick's Day but still want to enjoy the old world flavors of authentic Irish-American cuisine, give our pre-brined Corned Beef a try.
