Corned Beef
Ingredients
Directions
Wipe the meat and tie it into shape.
Place the meat in a kettle and cover it with cold water.
Heat to boiling, then boil for 5 minutes and remove any scum.
Reduce heat and cook below boiling until tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
Serve hot or cold. If pressing, cool slightly in the cooking water, then place in a meat press or bowl, cover, weight down, and leave until cold.
