Time tested recipe for Homemade corned beef

In a 5 gal bucket with lid combine the following

2.5 gallons water
3/4# salt
3 oz Tender quick ( cure)
2 oz pepper
4 oz garlic
2 oz onion
3/4 # white sugar


Put beef in bucket of brine and let sit in basement or cooler place 50-60 degrees for three days, shaking to mix brine daily.

Refrigerate for three days, shaking daily to mix brine.

remove from brine and cook up.
 
Thanx for the recipe. I've always wanter to try making my own corned beef to smoke into pastrami. With St.Patty's day around the corner I'll have to give this a try.
 
When using TQ it's best to use 1TBS per lb of meat.

I brine mine in the fridge for the whole duration.
I don't flip, shake or nothing. I do the hams the same way.

In adition to the TQ this is what I use
(pergallon)
2 tsp. paprika
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices
1 cup salt
