ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
Well, today is March 18th - and I think I might have finally aced a corned beef recipe that, not only do other people love, but I do too! (I'm not much of a corned beef fan) It's a combination of many recipes, including Alton Brown of the Cooking Channel and Dee 514 of the Zaar.

Steps:
- Rinse corned beef thoroughly in cold water. Throw away any spices or spice packet included with the meat. Trim excess fat but do leave some fat. Dry meat thoroughly.
- Spray bottom and sides of large dutch oven or pot with cooking spray. Brown corned beef on all sides over high heat until nicely golden brown.
- Remove from heat and pour Guinness over the meat. Add water until brisket is just covered. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, pepper to the pot. Return to stove and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
- Add carrots, potatoes and celery. Return to simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
- Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and place at one end of large serving casserole. Place in 200 degree (warm) oven.
- Remove the corned beef to a slicing surface and let sit for ten minutes. After ten minutes, slice it against the grain and place at opposite end of vegetables. Place back in warm oven.
- Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to cooking liquid and boil vigorously until reduced by half.
- Serve beef and vegetables with reduced cooking liquid and also Mustard Sauce for Corned Beef & Cabbage (Recipe #86657).
- Delicious!

ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
This recipe comes from Good Eats with Alton Brown, slightly modified. An essential St. Patty's Day meal, it might take a while but your patience will be rewarded with some great corned beef any New Yorker would be proud of. And really the fridge does most of the work. If you can't find saltpeter, you can go without. It'll still taste good, it just won't have that classic pink corned beef color. You may also substitute one tablespoon dry gin for the juniper berries if you can't find them in your area. If I have any leftovers there's nothing better than corned beef hash from breakfast the next morning.

Steps:
- Use a mortar and pestle, meat mallet, etc to break open the whole spices.
- Place the water in a 6-8 quart stock pot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar dissolve.
- Remove from heat and add ice, stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine in the refrigerator until it reaches 45ºF.
- Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2 gallon zip-top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat in a container. Place in refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is submerged and flip the bag.
- After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place brisket in a large stock pot with the onion, carrot and celery. Cover with cold water by 1 inch, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer 2.5-3 hours until the meat is fork tender. Add the cabbage when the corned beef has 30-45 minutes left to cook. Bon Appetito.
