Just in time for St Patrick's Day - How to make Corned Beef at home in your own kitchen!

A lot of customers ask us what is corned beef? In this video we'll show you exactly what is corned beef made of!

There's so much in this video that we don't even know where to start! That said, we'll start from the very beginning. Stay tuned, when you're done watching you'll be able to take a brisket from the side of beef to the smoker, to the table.

Part 1: How to make corned beef at home
Part 2: 12:20 skip ahead and see how to cook corned beef brisket

Everything you'll need for prepping your corned beef at home:

The 9 ingredients for the brine:
✔️ 1 gallon of water in a roasting pan
✔️ 1 lb of sea salt (we used more salt since this is an overnight brine)
✔️ 1 oz of celery powder (sea salt and celery powder are the corned beef curing agents) https://bit.ly/3rkD4OG
✔️ 2 tbsp mustard seed
✔️ 2 tbsp black peppercorn (can be ground, but we leave it whole)
✔️ 1 tbsp ground ginger
✔️ 2 tbsp allspice (can be ground, but we leave it whole)
✔️ 2 crushed cinnamon sticks
✔️ 8 -10 bay leaves

Our favorite vegetables:
✔️ Red and green cabbage
✔️ Whole baby carrots
✔️ Fresh dill
✔️ Red potatoes
✔️ A couple of chunks of butter (butter is a vegetable, right?)

Here's how you cook the corned beef and cabbage on St Patty's Day:
1️⃣ Put only the brisket on the smoker (https://traeger.uym8.net/4e5nB9) at 185 F for 2 hours
2️⃣ After 2 hours, crank the temperature up to 350 F and place the brine in the solution
3️⃣ Smoke the corned beef brisket (Seth used signature blend pellets today https://traeger.uym8.net/NKBMLV) for about 3 hours at 350 F in the brine solution
4️⃣ When the meat is about 200 F internal temperature, or fork tender, add the vegetables and smoke for another 45 minutes (🧤 https://bit.ly/3rkRahm Seth's Heat and Cut Resistant Gloves🧤 the metal roasting pan is hot! Use our cut and heat resistant gloves to handle the hot pan)
