Left over 4# chuckie is corning

[crankybuzzard]

Had a 4# chuck roast left over from the last sausage Fest, so I defrosted it! dropped it into a corning brine! and now I wait.... I've only done briskets for corned beef/pastrami in the past, this should be interesting.

Never used a chuck either. I have used top and bottom round though. Should be tasty!

It's sure to be good! I bought 8 chucks that were all cut at the same time, and the others were almost fall apart tender even when raw!

The calendar needs to move fast! I want a sammich!

Well, I couldn't wait any longer, so I steamed the corned chuck roast last night. I made some homemade rye bread as well!

Getting it all sliced up! I took it to an IT of 165 and it sliced great.
