Great post...i really like corned beef also... five forks


Thank you Bobby,
The only Corned Beef that i grew up eating came from one of many yummy Deli's in the City. I've never had a recipe to make it with & now I do.
BTW, where does one purchase salt peter or pink salt? As I'm with you all the way about the color. Pink over gray, any day;-)

Wow, this recipe sounds really neat, and is quite different from the other recipe I tried from 6%*&@*!.com. I bet the beer makes it so much better. Thanks for the post.


Very nice


I have posted a similar recipe. Have you tried it on game meat -- it's great?
