Corned Beef

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wipe the meat and tie it into shape.

  2. Place the meat in a kettle and cover it with cold water.

  3. Heat to boiling, then boil for 5 minutes and remove any scum.

  4. Reduce heat and cook below boiling until tender, about 3 to 4 hours.

  5. 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.
