My husband did the shopping this week because I hurt my back. He bought a bargain cut of meat for $4 at Cub Foods that was labeled Corn Beef Brisket. The meat came with the pickling spice packet you see when you are cooking Corned Beef at St Patrick’s Day. I had no idea what he bought or how to cook it so I told him he was on his own. This was the recipe he made for honestly the best Corned Beef I ever had. It was tender, tasty and we liked it so much we rushed back to Cub Foods and bought three more to freeze for smoking this Summer on the grill.
For the meat rub in this recipe, I use Smokehouse Lovers Spice Blend from Luvafoodie.
Ingredients
- 1 (4-5 lb) flat-cut corned beef brisket
- 4 tbsp meat rub
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Discard any flavoring packet from corned beef.
- Rub brisket with olive oil and massage seasoning into the outside of the meat all over.
- Place brisket on a rack set in a roasting pan.
- Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Roast in the preheated oven until meat is tender, about 5 hours.
- One hour before serving take the meat out of the oven and glaze with BBQ Sauce.
- Cover pan up with foil and cook remaining hour.
- Slice to serve against the grain.
Garlicky Guiness Mussels
These mussels made by me and Shelagh Mullen on “Taste Buds With Stephanie” were fantastic and so easy! Visit Shelagh’s website for other Irish dishes at SheCooksDesign.com
Homemade Irish Cream
This homemade Irish cream was made with my brother in law in mind. It kind of tastes like a boozy chocolate coffee milkshake without the ice cream — but hey, maybe add some ice cream and go that route.
Irish Soda Bread
Each year on St Patrick’s Day, I make Irish soda bread. I promise you any novice can make this bread. You need to eat it hot out of the oven as it tends to dry out throughout the day and it doesn’t keep well.
Colcannon
Colcannon is an Irish staple that Shelagh Mullen made on our “Taste Buds With Stephanie” show. You can substitute Russet Potatoes or Cabbage for Kale, but this humble potato dish will be a staple on your table. Find other Irish-inspired recipes from Shelagh at SheCooksDesign.com
Irish Brown Bread
This Brown Bread is dense and malty. With a slathering of sweet cream butter, it’s a nutty delight from our friend Shelagh Mullen, who was in my “Taste Buds with Stephanie” episode. Find this and other recipes for your Irish feast at SheCooksDesign.com.
