The ULTIMATE Homemade CORNED BEEF: Ditch the Canned Stuff!

[@samanthafox2664]

Hi Rik, just wanted to let you know that I have successfully made this. I halved the recipe (as beef here in Portugal is crazy expensive) and I used a gelatin sheet (as powder isn't available here). I cured it for 48 hours, cooked it yesterday, refrigerated it overnight and unveiled it this morning. All I can say to you is that it's OUTSTANDING! Once again, thank you for making me happy and sharing this recipe x

[@BackyardChef]

Great job! You did it. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@filmtajm35]

You can do corned beef in a much easier way: Buy minced meat. Mix with table salt to your liking and pack the salted minced meat in glass jar without lid. Place the glass jar in a pot big enough for the glass jar to fit and fill up the pot with cold water, but only up and under the glass jar brim. You don't want any water inside the glass jar. Put the pot on the stove and let the water boil. Boil for 1 hour or so or until the meat inside the glass jar is cocked. Take out the glass jar, screw on the lid and let cool down. After cooled down, put the glass jar in the fridge. The corned beef is ready to eat the next day.

Maybe a combined m8x of m8nce would be nice

[@Rik77]

​​@@filmtajm35but in a jar you would need a spoon to get it out so isn't it more like a paste, rather than a set sliceable block?

Hello Rik... I want to try your recipe. You mentioned sodium nitrite in the curing process. Where do you get it? Was it about a teaspoonful you added? A bit more info would be helpful, please. Cheers... Chris Mathers Lowood QLD Australia

[@johnvella2342]

i found this by accident. in Australia while passing time looking thruogh KZbin. I would like to share a little of my younger years. It was way back in 1964 around March and I was a 16 1/2 year old young man. I found a job at a cannary factory. We used to produce all sorts of canned food. the work was hard and lots of overtime was available as most days were 16 hour working days plus 4 hours saturdays. I was quickly given the task of handling the meat we used (unloading, placing in large chillers and mixing all the different meats we used.) I would like to mention everything that went in to make the batches but some things better stay hidden. A single corned beef batch consisted of 800 lbs of mixed meats and we were using around 17 batches a day when making corned beef. I always made sure to inform my workmates not to eat any food in work produced with stuff I was not happy with and had been ordered not to reject but use in small amounts etc. Batches were first Boiled and reduced to a certain weight whole as I mixed it. it was then put through a 1/2 Inch blade mincer and then placed in a mixer where a batch of sodium nitrate, salt etc was added all weighed according to our chemists recepie, some water could be added if too much weight was lost during boiling. then into the cans followed by retorts. I left such industries around 1971as by then I was actually falling asleep often while driving home after work and a car accident was the last straw. I always wondered if it could be possible to make corned beef in a home kitchen and what you have shown in this video is truly amazing. Your corned beef looks different then canned stuff but it looks a lot better. I don't normally write any comments but in this case I feel you and your viewers will appreciate learning a little of how tin corned beef is made and that yours is absolutely a much better one.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, John. Really appreciated. We have a little more control at home. Best, Rik

[@DeannaStOmer]

Why do you use sodium dioxide?

[@johnvella2342]

Something I remembered after words I did not include is that one of the chemicals used in canned corned beef to make all meats red was called CORVIC HO I seem to remember and on the packeges it had an Xsign with a head skeleton and POISON written below it. This was 60 years and and I hope the name correct.

When I was a kid in the sixties, corned beef did come with visible strands of meat fibres in it. Nowadays it is blended smooth, and I don't like to think about why that might be, but it probably means poorer quality meat and likely offal going into it. This looks much nicer! My mother (from Durham) had two great recipes for corned beef - a corned beef and mashed potato pie, and "miner's mix" for sandwiches - corned beef mixed with onion, tomato and hard boiled egg.

Looks great! I've made corned beef here, but our process differs to yours, in that it's not chopped or ground, but made from a beef round or brisket, marinated in a pickle mix with sodium nitrite added to keep the red color in the meat. Then it's roasted or braised with veggies and sliced to serve. It's almost like a totally different product. This that you've made looks delicious, though, and I think I'll give it a go. Thank you for this!

[@promenadeable]

Yes you are talking about a completely different product. There are 2 corn beef products - the one Rik is talking about is the 'traditional CANNED corned beef product" which has been around forever...and the one you mean is a large piece of BRISKET beef which one cures - example: Montreal smoked meat is often compared to - or confused with - its close cousins, pastrami (smoked) corned beef which are spiced, cured cuts of beef. As well corned beef is known specifically as "salt beef" in Newfoundland and Labrador, and is sold in buckets with brine to preserve the beef and is not seasoned with spices.

Magic! You should be rightly chuffed with yourself, that looks amazing & it cuts beautifully. A mate & I used to play a game, coming up with restaurant menu sounding names for more humble, everyday food. Mine for corned beef was "Rustic Beef Terrine". And when you think of the process, it is a terrine. I never had corned beef 'till I left home. My mother wouldn't buy it as she'd had food poisoning from a can as a bairn. But I love it, on a sandwich with homegrown tomatoes, loads of pepper & salad cream. Or if I'm feeling posh, make a sauce gribiche to go with it, perfect pairing. Wonder if you'd give us your take on either potted heid (head) & potted hough? A bit of a treat on a rainy day, a pot of either of those, lots of thick buttered toast to spread it on & a pot of tea.

That looks pretty good. I know many turn their noses up at corned beef just because its the cheaper cuts, but the cheaper cuts can be the tastiest once slow cooked. The fat yes we know how bad the saturates are (for the likes of me at least) but its only food storage and flavour to boot. This is one I will be trying at some point that is for sure.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. I love it - really do! Best, Rik

[@chrisatkin7130]

Scott Rea did a video about making corned beef around 8 years ago, he made it using the same method as I was taught when I was a trainee butcher in the early 80s apart from he didn't shred and press it. The beef used to go into a big brine tub along with ox tongues, for pressed tongue and pigs heads and trotters for making brawn. We made everything there nothing was bought in prepared and all the meat came in as carcasses.

[@BackyardChef]

Nice one! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@peterwilliams2152]

Ox tongues -mmmmm! Almost impossible to get ox tongues in Australia anymore. My father used to cook them to perfection, and I'd get sliced tongue and pickles on sangers for school lunches.

[@chrisatkin7130]

@@peterwilliams2152 they're difficult to get here in Spain where I now live. Have you tried asking a local butcher? Back in the UK my mate who has his own shop gets them in to order. We used to cut them from the heads along with trimming all of the rest of the meat from them. Alternatively what about pig tongue instead

[@peterwilliams2152]

@@chrisatkin7130 Local butchers are rare here because of the supermarket chains. But I have two really good butchers, and even they find it almost impossible to get tongues, and they can't explain why. One suggested that perhaps the tongues are exported to a more profitable market. They used to be cheap and readily available. Meat here is outrageously expensive.

[@chrisatkin7130]

@@peterwilliams2152 ah probably that's how it is now, such a shame the big boys have taken over and ruined it for everyone. Prices have gone mental here too, it's ridiculous. Someone is making tens of millions out of this price hike and I doubt it's the farmers.

Looks fantastic and easy to make £2.05 for 340g at Ald and it's funny because I hade the same sandwich today for lunch right after making another Irish Guinness sausage pie and for the fist time again making today corned beef hash pie but I put a can of mackeson in like the Irish one and butternut squash soup which tastes fantastic for this time of year. Thanks for the recipes Rik there all cheap tastes good meals.

This looks incredible, and the amount of salt in a normal tin (not to mention the cost these days) is insane. I'll have to do it in a slow cooker as I have no pressure cooker (and see if I can find a butcher that sells beef trimmings), but I can't wait to try this out. Thanks, Rik! Subbed.

What a wonderful recipe, Rick - thank you so much! Would this be the way to make A & B roll too? Grant's used to make tins of it - think there's bacon included because the name comes from Aberdeen angus and Belfast ham. I look forward to all your videos and very much enjoy the 'older' recipes you demonstrate - takes me back to my childhood!

[@BackyardChef]

Grant's are known for their canned meat products, I must say honestly I cannot remember A & B roll. The beef in the tinned has to be cured in some way. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@wolfman011000]

Gave this a go this weekend with one change, rather than blitz all the corned beef up I did half smooth and half chunky. It gave it a more canned ham texture, had to add some pork back fat to get 80/20 ratio as the beef was a bit lean. Next time I'll make a split batch and try some with MSG and different herbs and spices, l do that when I make deli ham. Thanks for video, take care, God bless One and All.

Love the idea, but thinking that looks a little too much like a paste for me. I'm going to have a go, but probably blend around 2/3 of it and leave the other 1/3 shredded to give a bit of texture. Fantastic.

​@BackyardChef Good video Rik. In the US restaurants serve what they refer to as "corned beef" but its actually what we call salt beef. A salt beef sandwich is the nicest thing you can have. When your beef came out the pot it looked like salt beef. I think tinned corned beef only has gelatin because it's put in tins. If you're not going to tin it no need to gelatin it 👍

[@wwsuwannee7993]

Absolutely brilliant! I'll be making this. Good one Rik. One thing...I noticed you didn't use any of the traditional spices in the brine (pepper, mustard seed, bay, etc.). Is that just your personal preference, or was there a reason? I might also leave out the nitrate as it's not setting in the fridg for 10 days, unless you want the red color (I don't care), it won't affect the taste hardly at all. Again...I can't say enough how brilliant this one is :)
