It is getting close to that time of year to break our your shillelagh and four leaf clovers because we have spotted Snake River Farms corned beef at the big warehouse store. We love to buy a couple of these corned round steaks (verses corned brisket). They freeze very well if you do not eat them right away. A purge of clear water to remove excess salt is the only preparation before smoking. A 5 hour sauna of apple & hickory wood at 275 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees is all she wrote. It does not get any better.
I've made corned beef from round and it worked well and based upon the shape, I assume that is what the market delis use as well.
ReplyDeleteBig Dude, I like the round. It sure made some tasty sammys.
