Home Cooking: Beef Brisket Cooked In Beer

31/3/2012

Now that we've finally finished off our food donation stash from all over, I have resorted back to cooking at home (one happy A). I've been playing with thought of making our own corned beef since what we usually have in the market is the shredded one. As I was looking for a recipe for a pickling spice to make corned beef, I bumped into this Guinness Corned Beef With Cabbage recipe from Steamy Kitchen.
The recipe calls for Guinness Beer. It's a dark beer that you can find in supermarkets like Rustan's, Shopwise, and Metro Gaisano in Market Market. I'm not a beer drinker, so I don't know if San Miguel Beer's Cerveza Negra is a good substitute.

As for the pickling spice, I haven't been able to find one so I ended up making a batch. Following the recipe from leitesculinaria.com, I was able to make a pickling spice for corned beef.

Now, I don't like the taste of any alcoholic beverage. Having said that, I am bound to burn off the alcohol from the beer in the cooking process. Unfortunately, I'd end up doing a number of taste tests until I couldn't taste the beer anymore (hic).

Of course, I ended up experimenting with my current experimental recipe by opting to go with herbed mashed potatoes as a side dish instead of potatoes and cabbage. The beer sauce reminds me of the one that we goes with Christmas ham.

Lunch for today looked something like this:

Sorry about the photo quality. My camera's having an executive check-up and won't be home until next week. Picture taking is not the same (sigh).

At least A liked the meal and it feels good to be back in the kitchen again.
