Corned Beef

[WeAreBongo]

Has anyone tried corning their own beef? Is it worth the effort?

Is that a euphamism of some sort WeAreBongo? Personally I use the one about the ham shank!

[heathfield]

LOL. But seriously, folks... A local butcher produces his own corned beef and it's vastly superior to the tinned variety. Advantages include being able to reduce the amount of fat used, and using bigger pieces of beef. It'll taste better, too.

psml skreech, i hate canned corn beef but love the proper stuff, i've never made it myself but got it from a local butcher, well worth the money!. I think its got to be worth a shot

How do you "corn" beef?????????

[JonnyBoy12]

No, don't know how to do that, but know some people who know how to do meat injections.lol!

We are Bongo: I tried doing that once about 10 years ago. To be honest, the hassle factor, combined with the realisation after I had it all finished, the yield we had simply wasn't worth the effort. I would also add that I actually preferred the corn beef I could buy at a traditional jewish Deli in Soho was far superior to what I had just produced.

If you're seriously considering doing this I'd be pleased to post the recipe I used. I'm sure it's still in my severely dog-eared cookbook.

I wish you well

Don't bother. Why would you even want to?

It's just something I've toyed with the idea of getting my hands dirty with but never actually got round to doing. I guess I wanted to compare it to the tinned / supermarket stuff.
