What is Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned beef and cabbage is salt cured with a large grain of salt. That long grain salt is called corns.

This cut of meat is very tough so roasting or braiding is a must. So the low and slow method of high pressure to break down the meat is a must.

What's In The Corned Beef Spice Packet

A lot of times when you buy a corned beef you see a packet of spices inside. This is the seasoning for the corned beef.

Generally the spice packet had coriander seed, mustard seed, bay leaf, hot pepper, and sometimes cloves, dill or even allspice.

Depending on the brand, will depend on what is included. You can always toss the bag and add in your own spices if you prefer.

Once your corned beef and cabbage has rested and cooled some it is now time to cut. You always want to cut against the grain. This will give you that fork tender beef you want.

Brisket has those long fibrous strands so cutting against is key to tenderness. If you cut any other way you could have a tougher meat.
