How To Restore Beef Recipes
About a dozen days ago I stood throughout the counter from owner Paul Kozey at Walt’s Food Market in Old Saybrook and asked for a whole flat-reduce brisket - the comparatively lean portion with the familiar boxy shape separated from the odd-formed level.
Walt’s is a mid-century throwback, a familiar sort of small grocery on the main Street with the meat counter within the again and groceries up front. A gradual traffic of locals buys sandwiches, maybe one of the best in the world, roasts and ready food.
Kozey stepped into the back and brought out just a few selections - none of them newfangled, dry-aged or grass-fed, however properly-marbled Black Angus. I bought an untrimmed 9-pound brisket as is, a deal at a little over forty dollars.
I take the vacations as they come - turkey and pie on Thanksgiving, roast lamb or nation ham on Easter, New England boiled dinner for St. Patrick’s - their hurdles and handicaps a possibility to give again to pals an idealized model of the remembered holidays, with better ingredients, refined recipes, improved technique.
This 12 months I settled on dwelling-cured corned beef - a very simple strategy to liven the vacation - and easily the best corned beef you should have ever eaten.
At house, I trimmed away the hard fats cap, and rubbed the brisket with a dry cure of salt, prague powder #1 and sugar, black pepper, ground ginger, clove, coriander seed, mustard seed, crushed allspice, bay leaf, and crushed garlic - the type of dry brine that has supplanted traditional salt and water solutions for juicier roast hen, and a deeper, undiluted taste.
Once bagged - I used a foodsaver - I positioned the brisket on a shelf in the refrigerator and for 10 days or so I flipped the meat every day - and that’s it.
Yesterday, I sliced open the bag, totally rinsed the brisket, and tested a small slice - fried up briefly in a skillet - for saltiness and flavor.
Too salty, and it’s attainable to soak the meat in water for a number of hours, or compensate in the cooking course of - whether you choose to steam the brisket like a new York delicatessen, poach it in simmering water like a conventional boiled dinner, or sous vide it for 10 hours at 180F. I selected the latter.
With carrots, cabbage, onions and potatoes cooked within the leftover liquid, the proper vacation dinner.
Adjust the spicing to taste. Combine elements for the dry brine in a small bowl. Bag the brisket, seal, and flip once or twice every day for about 10 days. On a shallow baking tray rub the brisket on all sides to coat.
