Life is full of choices

  • The black or the white
  • Dine in or dine out
  • hoard TP or not

However, when it comes to cooking corned beef there really is only one good choice. This St. Patrick's Day choose the brisket designated "flat-cut". The flat cut vs the point cut is leaner and slices perfectly. The point cut may have a bit more flavor due to all that fat, but the meat will shred on you and no one wants shredded corn beef unless you are making hash.

And here is another tip for making a delicious St. Patty's feast. Make a spirited glaze to flavor the meat. Let's be honest, boiled meat, no matter how much pickling spice you use, lacks flavor. It needs a boost, so this glaze is what I recommend.

Years ago my friend, Tina, of the blog Epicuricloud, posted a St. Patrick's dinner as featured in a Cuisine At Home magazine. The recipe included a whiskey glaze. Spirited and easy to make the glaze offers the corned beef a depth of flavor that it so desperately needs. To add to the party I choose an Irish whiskey to make it a bit more authentic, but you can make your own choice.

      Are you cooking corn beef? The glaze is also great on anything you might be grilling this weekend.

    Flat cut brisket was one of he only things left at the market! I do a similar glaze with Guinness but have never added whiskey. I will try it on Tuesday. Stay well!

      Oh I bet the Guinness glaze is perfectly delicious, too. My mother is the one who taught me about buying the flat-cut.

      Be well, too, dear one. <3
