Corned Beef Three Ways

Hmm, that almost sounds a bit dirty.

Mind out of the gutter people!

I cured my own corned beef again this year. I used a five pound piece of brisket. One of the downsides of corned beef is that it shrinks so much during the cooking process but I figured I'd have enough for some of my favourites with a piece that size.

The brisket had a big piece of fat running through it so I cut it in half through the fat and trimmed the fat off leaving me with two pieces.

The first I cooked for our St. Patrick's Day dinner. We bake it in the oven with a delicious glaze.

This piece of the corned beef provided six meals.

Then the other piece is used for other recipes.

Last Friday I made Reuben sandwiches.

Then on Sunday we had corned beef hash.

Lots of good eating from that one piece of beef!
