Corned Beef & Cabbage

My husband was looking over my shoulder when I opened that link, just before he went grocery shopping. Guess what he wants for dinner tonight (it’s very early Thursday morning now)? I’m gonna turn on the oven in AUGUST in Texas. But it’ll probably be worth it. Also, he got Hickory Liquid Smoke and Mesquite Liquid Smoke, which do I use? Need answer fast!

Hickory–the mesquite is going to be a more acidic flavor

Yeah, I went with hickory. I figured that it’s probably the original. And I like mesquite a heck of a lot better than Bill does, so I’ll just save the mesquite for burgers cooked in a skillet.

I can think of exactly one thing worse…which, oddly enough, involves corned beef and cabbage as well.

You’re gonna love it as long as you follow the directions - I don’t remember how long she tells you to marinate it for, but I usually start the day before. Gorgeously tender yummy meat.

Her directions say to marinate it for 24 to 48 hours, so I started this morning. I didn’t have enough soy sauce, so I put in some teriyaki and some Woosher sauce. Otherwise, I’m not going to change it. Next time, I’ll probably put in some onion slices, but I like to TRY to follow the recipe more or less exactly the first time. If I don’t run out of something. I really didn’t know we were that low on soy sauce. I plan to bake some potatoes with it, too, while I’ve got the oven on.
