We have had a beef brisket in the freezer for a while. The other day I put it in the fridge to thaw so I could make corned beef with it. I sort of forgot about it until this evening when I came home from work. So I took it out of the fridge, trimmed the silverskin, and put it in a brine that I made. Then put it back in the fridge for up to a week. I did this two times before, and it is very good. The brine I used is as follows:
10 cups water
1 1/2 cups kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp dry mustard
3 Tbsp pickling spices
3 cloves garlic, sliced
I heated everything together, then let it cool while I was trimming the brisket. It makes for very good corned beef. Now to wait at least a week and then cook it. Mhmm. Can't wait to taste it. Love me some corned beef!
