Home Cured Corned Beef

By meadows
How to easily cure your own corned beef, with beef brisket, pickling spices, and salt
- Prep time: 5 days
- Pickling spices:
- 1 Tbsp. whole allspice berries
- 1 Tbsp. whole mustard seeds (brown or yellow)
- 1 Tbsp. coriander seeds
- 1 Tbsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp. whole cloves
- 1 Tbsp. whole black peppercorns
- 9 whole cardamom pods
- 6 large bay leaves, crumbled
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 stick cinnamon
- Brine:
- 1 4.5 litres water
- 2 cups Kosher salt
- 5 teaspoons pink curing salt*
- 3 Tbsp. pickling spices
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- *Pink curing salt, or sodium nitrite, goes by many names, such as Prague Powder #1 or DQ Curing Salt #1, and is available online and may be available at your local specialty market or butcher shop. If you don't have it, you can still make corned beef, but it is necessary for that vibrant pink colour we associate with corned beef. And it adds flavour too. Without it the corned beef will be a dull grey colour.
- Brisket:
- 1 2 – 2.5 kg Brisket of Beef
- 1 Tbsp. pickling spices
