I bought a whole brisket from Costco and cooked the flat. I'd like to make a corned beef from the point - and it's a big one.

I can't seem to find a dry cure recipe/formula with specifics (by weight like for bacon). The fridges don't have space right now for a big bag and holding container; but I can vacuum seal the point and leave it in a corner <g>.

So, where do I need to look for my recipe?

Thanks all.

Andrew
 
To meat weight:

1.5-2% salt
Cure #1 @ .25%
Sugar around 1%

Rub that on all sides evenly. Feel free to crush or grind up some aromatics like pickling spice and pepper to add after. Then vac seal and cure about 2 weeks.
