Classic Corned Beef is a super easy recipe. Just buy a nice piece of corned beef from the supermarket and simmer it.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours, 50 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 55 minutes
Yield: Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1 (3-pound) slab corned beef
- water
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Preparation:
Place the corned beef, with all its seasonings and juices from the package, in a large pot. Add water to cover.
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours until the beef is fork-tender. Remove the beef from the liquid, discard the liquid, and cover the beef tightly with foil. Let stand 10 minutes.
To slice, look for the grain of the meat - lines that run across the beef. Slice against those lines at a perpendicular angle.
Mix sour cream and Dijon mustard and serve that with the beef.
