Brianna is home because she has a placement for one week at a local hospital so she requested Corned Beef for dinner. I haven't had much luck with corned beef - I usually buy from Woolworths and have found it to be tough and tasteless.
I walked into our locally owned supermarket and happened to run into the butcher man himself. I asked if he did a good corned beef and he told me to choose the Butchers Brand one and not the 'other' one. The price of the piece I bought was $19.90 so it will want to be good!
It certainly looks nice, so it's in the slow cooker with water, vinegar, cracked pepper, brown sugar, a few bay leaves and an onion. I'll let you know how it is later when I serve it up.

We don't eat it much theses days, but always found it went along way hot or cold. I used to cook it in gingerale. ( leave out the sugar and some of the water. )Hope you enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was wonderful Joolz! I'm a huge corned beef fan, but all the ones we have had lately have been soooo ordinary. I have bought one from a different supermarket here, but haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to get it from your local butcher and ditch the supermarkets all together.
ReplyDeleteI love corned beef and often make it in the slow cooker. I season it with garlic and pickling spice. I serve it with boiled potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Yummy.Leftovers are good for sandwiches or hash. I hope you enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteone of my favourite meals yum
ReplyDeleteI always buy mine from the butcher, you pay a bit more but it is worth it. The last one I cooked I did it in the slow cooker with similar ingredients to you, it was so tender and yum, so I will do it in that from now on. I love mine with white sauce, mashed potato and peas (always had it like that since I was a kid).
ReplyDeleteThats how I cook it Joolz and occasionally I have a tough one:0(
