I bought a corned beef a while back and do to circumstances beyond my control i could not cook it for a long time. So yesterday i was finally able to start the process.
It started with bathing it in water for around 24 hours changing the water about 4 time. Today 3 hours before the smoke! the bath was changed to a mix of apple cider vinegar. since i despise cabbage i used kale
Padded dry coated in Gram Marsala
Then into the smoker for 3.5 hours at 225 with mesquite chips, with water bowl.
used drippings and water mix to cook covered for 1.5 hours
then coated 1 side with grey poupon mustard
Here is the Kale cooked with margarine, garlic, and lemon juice
The end result
It came out amazing, i think the mesquite was the best choice for this, despite everything i read about smoking corned beef. most said cherry or apple.
