How is corned beef made? The meat, which is usually the brisket, or breast muscles is cured by injecting and marinating it with a brine made of curing salts, flavorings and water.

Why is it called corned? The salt once used to cure the meat came in small,  pellets that looked like corn kernels. After it was cured, it was said to be “corned.”

How is corned beef cooked? Rinse the corned beef and place it in a pot with enough water to cover it. No additional seasonings are needed. Bring it to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until tender  using a meat thermomator, cook until 160 degrees.
