Question about making Corned Beef and Cabbage?

I am making a recipe for corned beef and cabbage. The recipe tells me to include the spice packet that came with the beef brisket. However, my beef brisket didn't come with a spice packet. What spices should I use to substitute? (I am making a 3.5 pound beef brisket.)

Yeah, it's basically pickling spice. if you want to make your own use:

5 bay leaves, crushed in your hand

1 Tbs. coriander seed

1 tsp. whole black peppercorns

1 tsp. whole allspice

1 tsp whole mustard seed

2 to 4 whole cloves

you can add garlic or even red chile depending on your taste. This should be enough for 1 batch of corned beef.

Reply:Homemade Corned Beef



3 Bay leaves

Brine:

8 C Water

1-1/4 C Kosher salt

1 C Sugar

3-1/2 TBL Pickling spices

6-8 LBS Brisket (you may substitute bottom round)

Cooking ingredients:

3 TBL Malt vinegar

1/2 TSP Red peppercorns

1/2 TSP Black peppercorns

1/2 TSP Green peppercorns

1 White onion

2 Bottles of Harp Lager Beer

1 Celery rib, chopped

1 Carrot, chopped

4 Medium cloves garlic

3 Whole cloves







1. Bring the water to a boil. Add salt, sugar, and pickling spices. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve, then remove from heat. Allow brine to cool to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator for one hour. After brine is cold, place brisket in a resealable plastic container and cover with the brine. Place a heavy plate or bowl on the brisket to keep it submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 15 days, stirring the brine and turning the brisket every day or so.

2. Remove the brisket from the brine (do no reuse the brine, discard it). Place the brisket in a large pot, and pour in beer and vinegar. Cover brisket with water by 1/2 inch and add all remaining cooking ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until tender. Remove from pot, thin slice across the grain before serving. Delicious, hot or cold.

3. Serves 10 to 12.
Reply:The packet is nothing more than Pickling Spice. You can buy a small jar in the spice area.
Reply:I use a splash of malt vinegar, a bay-leaf, 5-8 peppercorns and honey.



Pickling spices could be used, but it is fine to eat unseasoned.

As a rule you will serve it with a sweet mustard sauce, or hot English mustard.
Reply:Use garlic powder.
Reply:Did you get a Corned Beef Brisket, or just a Beef Brisket?

Corned Beef should have definitely come in a package swimming in brine and with a spice packet included.

The packet contains what is commonly called "Pickling Spice" and you can find it at the supermarket under that name. It is basically Clove, Bay Leaf %26amp; Peppercorn, but there's some other stuff in there too I'm not sure of. Best to get a can of it at the market.

Good luck, and enjoy !
