    ☘️ Frequently Asked Questions

    Does corned beef get more tender the longer it is cooked?

    • Corned beef is made from one of several less tender cuts of beef like the brisket, rump, or round. Therefore, it requires long, moist cooking. Corned beef is safe once the internal temperature has reached at least 145 °F, with a three-minute rest time, but cooking it longer will make it fork-tender.

    What temp to cook corned beef in Dutch Oven?

    • Cover the dutch oven and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 5 hours. (The time the corned beef simmers, depends on the amount you buy.) The longer it simmers, the more tender the corned beef will be.

    Other Than Water what can I boil my corned beef in?

    • You can boil corned beef in beef stock which gives it even more flavor and makes it more tender!

    Should Corned Beef be boiled or baked?

    • I don't recommend baking corned beef as it may come out very dry. Boiling Corned beef is the standard practice. You can also cook corned beef in an Instant Pot.

    Do you add onions when preparing corned beef and cabbage?

    • I don't add onions when cooking this recipe, but you certainly can and if you do, I suggest yellow onion.

    What's the difference between a flat cut and point cut brisket?

    • The brisket is made up of two different muscles: the point and the flat. The point cut is the fatty part of the brisket, which is called the deckle. The flat cut, also known as "first cut", has the deckle removed, which makes it leaner and causes it to lay flat.

    Corned beef Dutch oven or slow cooker?

    • I prefer to cook my brisket in the Dutch oven as it's easier and less time-consuming.

      I'm the exact opposite of you - I don't want to cook when I'm experiencing grief, so I'm going to try to use you as inspiration. We almost got the corned beef at Trader Joe's. I think I'll go back to get it tomorrow.

      Strangely enough I had never made Corned Beef before, but with winter and cabbage season, this looked too inviting to pass by. It came together so easily in my dutch oven, yet had so much flavor! This will be a new winter favourite for sure.
