What is Corned Beef?
Corned Beef is a beef brisket cured in brine and boiled, served hot typically with cabbage, or cold, sliced for sandwiches. It’s not the same thing as pastrami. Both corned beef and salami are cured meats, which means they’ve been brined in a salt water solution. The brine may or may not include spices and seasoning. The cooking process differs after the curing process. Corned beef is boiled while pastrami is smoked.
Corned beef is definitely gluten-free!
How is Corned Beef Made?
Corned beef is made from an inexpensive cut of beef brisket. The brisket goes through a long curing process using rock salt and a brine seasoning. It’s then slowly cooked, turning a tough cut of beef into one that’s super tender, juicy, and flavorful.
