  2. Can’t believe I totally forgot about corning beef. Carved it down so it was just the flat. That’s pretty thin, I’ll keep it in the bag until the last second!

    I cured a flat in 7 days before. Cutting it super close. But it did work. Meat was pink throughout. Although i made montreal smoked meat style

  4. Should be plenty of time but if your worried you can hit it with a marinade injector and inject the brine into the thickest parts. That will speed the process up significantly. I think Chud’s BBQ did a pastrami in just a few days that way

  5. Looks great.In Ireland we usually use a different cut for corner beef called Silverside which I think is a top round.

    just did a whole venison haunch a few weeks ago. only brined for 6 days and it was effing PERFECT. I smoked mine into pastrami. But the cure was wonderful. Good luck!

    Asking here because I have no idea what I’m doing: I’m doing my first attempt at corned beef but I can’t get all the air out of the bag (there’s a hole/it’s leaking from somewhere. I have it double bagged now, but will this be a problem or am I fine?

  8. My sister brought me some syringes from the hospital she works at. I make a solution of salt, curing salt and sugar and inject whole muscles. I get things cured through in about 2-3 days. Probably the best hack I’ve come up with to date.
