Recipe Description

This Simple Salt Beef recipe is a classic dish that’s both easy to prepare and incredibly flavorful. Perfectly seasoned and slow-cooked, the beef becomes tender and succulent, making it ideal for sandwiches, salads, or as a standalone dish. The brining process ensures the beef has the right amount of saltiness, creating a deliciously savory flavor. Ideal for a weekend meal or a special treat, this homemade salt beef is bound to be a hit with everyone.

Ingredients

  • For the Beef:
    • 1.5-2 lbs (700-900g) beef brisket
    • 1/4 cup kosher salt
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
    • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
    • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 bay leaves
    • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
    • Water (enough to cover the beef)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brine: In a large pot, combine the kosher salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, garlic, bay leaves, and mustard seeds. Add enough water to cover the beef brisket and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt and sugar.
  2. Cool the Brine: Once the brine has boiled, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely. This is important to avoid cooking the meat prematurely.
  3. Brine the Beef: Once the brine has cooled, submerge the beef brisket in the brine, ensuring it is completely covered. Cover the pot and refrigerate for 3-5 days, flipping the beef halfway through the brining time for even seasoning.
  4. Cook the Beef: After the brining period, remove the beef from the brine and rinse it under cold water. Place the brisket in a large pot, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve in sandwiches, with mustard, or on a platter with your favorite sides.
