Homemade Corned Beef (Round Roast)

(Shared recipe submitted by Jennifer.)

Jennifer writes: "This is a wonderful recipe for making corned beef by scratch. By making your corned beef by scratch from a round roast, you can have nice lean corned beef. Those briskets in the store are always so fatty!"

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 tablespoons whole mixed pickling spices, divided
  • 5 to 6 pound beef round roast
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped

To Prepare: Mix water, salt, sugar, bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic, 1 tablespoon pickling spice and beef in a crock, cover with a plate and put a weight on top. Let meat stand in brine 36 hours. Meat will then be ready to cook.

To Cook: Rinse the corned beef. Put it into a large kettle. Cover with boiling water. Add remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons pickling spice, onion, celery, and carrot. Cover and simmer for 4 to 4-1/2 hours until tender. Cool beef in broth if not serving hot.
