    Kitchen Dictionary: corned beef

    A beef brisket cured in a seasoned brine. Corning is a method of “curing” having nothing to do with corn. In Anglo Saxon times this meant “before refrigeration” the meat was dry cured in “corn salts”, small pellets the size of corn was used and was rubbed into the meat to preserve it. Modern day term is “brining. Salt water is used to “pickle” the beef. Common spices used today for corned beef are peppercorns and bay leaf, and vary by region. There are two cuts of brisket: point cut, most commonly available, often incorporates large quantities of fat, and is tough and stringy when cooked. Point cut is much leaner, has a better texture (and therefore, better flavor because it is easier to chew) and can be made tender if cooked properly.
