Thanks. That’s a day’s worth of salt right there! lol Ok, can you make the corned beef using a brisket and your own seasonings to avoid the salt preservation aspect, or wouldn’t it be the same? Would that just be a brisket dinner or do they use different seasonings?
I understand buying the corned beef with the seasonings already in the bag for ease.
Yes you can make your own. There are web sites that have instructions for Corning your own Brisket for Corned Beef. Most all of them use coriander as one of the herb ingredients. Other herbs are up to your tastes. It can take quite a bit of time to corn the beef or other meat (Turkey, Pork, Chicken) a week? So you must plan on corning ahead to the cooking / serving day.
I don’t think you can avoid the salt!
I suppose you could add spices to a regular brisket cut - but ‘corned’ is ‘corned’...that’s where the sodium comes in...I bet there are brands out there that have reduced sodium.
It’s not a common meal for most people so enjoy the sodium and drink more water :)
