Corned beef

[Aevum]

well,

i have a chunk of meat in brine, today is going to be the 4th spin (its been in for 10 days) the problem is i live in an aparment in the center of madrid, so BBQ or smoking is out of the question,

im between slow oven roasting it in an alimunium foil packet or stewing it in a iron cast pot,

any recommendations ? i have around 4 days still untill i intend to pull it out of the brine, its 1.7KG, or a bit over 3.5 lbs,

A fine thing indeed!

Corned beef can be very successfully brasied or even simmered.
I would just make sure it's fork tender before serving.

Keep us posted.

i was thinking of giving it a pastrami rub and slow roasting it, decent idea ?

Sounds like an interesting experiment.
It should work, but it will not be pastrami.

Hmmm......thinking ... water pan in oven, say 235 for at least 10 hours.
Do you have a thermometer that you can leave in?
