Perfect Corned Beef From The Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Place corned beef into oven bag.
• Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
• Shake to mix.
• Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
• Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
• Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
• Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
• Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
• Slice and serve hot.
• (Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
• Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.

Steps:

• Rinse a beef brisket in cold water to remove any brine and place into a large pot.
• Pour beer over the brisket and add water until the meat is covered by the liquid.
• Add onions, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to a rolling boil.
• Cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low for a gentle boil.
• Cook for 4 hours or until meat is fork-tender, skimming foam occasionally.
• Add carrots, potatoes and place cabbage quarters on top of the meat.
• Cook for an additional half-hour until the vegetables are tender. Turn off heat.
• Remove the brisket from the broth and allow it to rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Slice against the grain in 1/4-inch-thick strips.
• Serve on a warm platter, arranging carrots and cabbage around the meat strips in the center of the platter.

Steps:

• Place orange,onion, cloves, thyme and ginger ale into a large microwave proof casserole dish. Cook on high for 10 minutes.
• Add meat and cook on low for 1½ to 2 hours.
• For the Orange and Ginger Sauce:- Bring remaining ingredients to the boil stirring continuously until thickened. Serve hot.
