Sweet & Spicy Roasted Corned Beef

March 10, 2015 · by Carrie Trax ·

Corned Beef with SpicesWhat is Corned Beef?  Corned Beef is is a cut of meat, a brisket, that has been cured, or pickled, in a seasoned brine. Even though corned beef is associated with St. Patrick’s Day this is not an Irish dish.  The connection with St. Patrick’s Day is a Irish-American tradition. In the late 19th century corned beef was used as a substitute for bacon by Irish-American immigrants. Traditional corned beef is simmered in water with spices for 3 to 5 hours until tender.  I like my corned beef with a crusty outside and a little kick so this recipe for Sweet & Spicy Roasted Corned Beef is the perfect recipe.  It comes out of the oven tender, juicy and delicious!  Served with some roasted cabbage and carrots and you have the perfect dinner.  I always make sure I have extra corned beef for a Reuben sandwich the next day and some corned beef hash!

Sweet & Spicy Roasted Corned BeefMustard Honey SauceCorned Beef with Spices
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon horseradish
2 tablespoons honey
3 pound corned beef with spices*
2 tablespoons brown sugar

In small bowl, mix together the honey, mustard and horseradish. Remove corned beef from packaging and rinse in cool water. Pat dry. Place in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Smear the honey/mustard mixture over the corned beef being sure to coat the entire thing. Add spice mixture to bag and seal. Gently massage the corned beef for a few seconds to be sure the marinade is coating every surface possible. Place on plate and put in fridge to marinate for 3 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350. Place corned beef, fat side up, on top of a large square of aluminum foil. Pour a little of the excess marinade on top. Sprinkle 2 Tbs brown sugar over the corned beef. Bring up edges of foil and seal to make a loose packet around the meat. Place in a shallow roasting pan and bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours. Remove from oven and carefully vent a corner to let steam escape. Turn oven to broil. Fold sides of foil down a bit to expose the corned beef. Pop back into oven and broil 1 -3 minutes until top is deep brown and sizzling. Remove to platter and slice against the grain, serve slices with a spoonful of the pan drippings for a sweet/spicy kick.

* If your corned beef does not come with spices you can use pickling spice or make you own.  Just mix 1 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 teaspoon whole peppercorn, 1 cinnamon stick crushed, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red peppers.

Blue Ribbon Honey Wheat Oat Bread

August 31, 2012 · by Carrie Trax ·

Blue Ribbon Honey Wheat Oat BreadDid they just call my name? Looking at my husband’s face I knew I won 1st place in the Bob’s Red Mill Bread contest at the 2012 Clackamas Fair.  I was so excited winning first out of 21 different breads entered in the contest.  Recipes had to use one of Bob’s Red Mill flours and any other Bob’s Red Mill product so that was the start of my Honey Wheat Oat Bread.  The special treats of raw pumpkin seeds, oats and wheat germ awaited the judges as they sliced the bread in half.  Even though I also received a $100 gift card for Bob’s Red Mill (which I used one hour after the contest was over) my biggest prize was the Blue Ribbon!

Honey Wheat Oat Bread

3 tsp rapid rise yeast

1 teaspoon white sugar

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup honey

2 teaspoons salt

2 cups Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat flour

4 cups Bob’s Red Mill white flour

½ cup Bob’s Red Mill quick cooking rolled oats

¼ cup Bob’s Red Mill wheat germ

½ cup Bob’s Red Mill raw pumpkin seeds

1 egg, beaten with a little water

2 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill quick cooking rolled oats

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water, set aside for a few minutes.

Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, butter, honey, salt and wheat flour in mixer bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. ( I place a towel over the bowl).  Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. You can leave in mixer on “2” mix for 8-10 minutes (add flour as needed if sticky) or hand knead for 10 minutes.  (I prefer to hand knead and then you can feel if more flour is needed).   Add in oats, wheat germ and pumpkin seeds.  Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled. (I learn a trick from someone to turn your oven on to 400 for 1 minute and then turn off it works great) Place bowl in oven to rise.  Do the same on the second rise too.

Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9×5 inch bread pans. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area (oven) until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes. Egg wash the top of each loaf and sprinkle on some oats.

Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Slice when cool.
