Corned Beef My Way

About This recipe

I love cooking Corned Beef Brisket the traditional way; it is really simple. All you need to do is cook your brisket in a crock pot on medium for about 4 - 5 hours, depending on its size. Put the corned beef brisket in a large crock pot and cover it with water. Add garlic and onions, cook on high for about an hour, then reduce the setting to medium and let simmer for 3 hours or until nice and tender.

This time, I purchased a brisket that was about 6 lbs, and it could not fit in my crockpot, so I decided to roast it in the oven, and I tell you, it was a great success. It was nice and juicy with lots of flavor.   

 

Ingredients

• 1 Corned Beef Brisket - about 5 - 6 lbs with Seasoning Packet
• 1 medium onion diced
• 5 large cloves of garlic minced

 

 Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and prepare a large roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

2.   Place corned beef brisket fat side up in roasting pan. Add diced onions and minced garlic, and add water to cover the brisket.

3.   Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 4 - 5 1/2  hours (depending on the size). Check the package for cooking time. I estimated about 1 hour per pound. In addition, your oven temperatures may determine how long it will take. In a few hours, your kitchen will smell so wonderful.

4.   When the brisket is done, remove it from the pan, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for about 20 minutes before cutting.

 

5.   After the brisket has rested, trim visible fat from the top and slice it across the grain into nice thin slices. Serve with fresh Steam Cabbage, potatoes, or carrots. The leftovers are great. Enjoy!

Serve this with a great side dish of Confetti Cabbage.

Roasted Asparagus With Lemon

Family Fun & Healthy Recipe #1 

Roasted Asparagus with Lemon & Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese 

Ingredients

2 pounds Asparagus

Juice of 1/2 Lemon

Zest of 1/2 Lemon (about 1 tbsp)

2 Cloves Garlic (minced)

1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan

2 tsp Olive Oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1

Pre-heat oven 400 ° and wash asparagus and let drain. 

Step 2

Prep asparagus - Place the asparagus on your cutting board and cut the tough woody portion off.   The stem thickness indicates the age of the asparagus, thicker stems coming from older plants.  The stalks are thicker and can be a little woody then the small stalks.  The bottom portion of asparagus often contains sand and dirt, so thorough cleaning is advised before cooking.

 Step 3

Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.  Add olive oil to the pan then add your asparagus, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Then toss asparagus and make sure all the stalks are cover. Now add lemon juice and zest.  Place in oven and let roast for about 10 - 12 minutes.

Step 4

Serve asparagus - Remove oven and place on serving plate while they nice and hot, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese.  Love my asparagus roasted this way because they are full of flavor.
