Help, please. Bought a whole brisket

[lillypaddle]

but meant to get a corned beef, & it's not "corned." It's in the crock pot right now. I was going to make a corned beef hash. What spices do I add to get the corned beef flavor, or is it a lost cause? This is a $17 chunk of meat, so your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

1. You generally brine a brisket for days before cooking to make a corned beef, so I

think you are too late for that.

But there are lots of other great uses for brisket. Slow cooking with some onions and spices, then serving up with BBQ sauce suits me just fine.

:hi:

3. Sounds great, thanks

however, I just finished the BBQ roast I took out of the freezer yesterday. :)

Can't believe I didn't pay more attention to what I was buying!

2. found a lot of recipes for brisket hash on google

They seem to use smoked brisket for it, but perhaps you could either throw your cooked brisket on the BBQ to char it, or add a bit of smoke flavoring in the crockpot. Dunno.

4. Thanks, that's the way I'll be going

Gonna just dice some celery, onion, potatoes & carrots & throw that in. I'll let you know how it turns out.

5. You are making a delicious meal just the way it is

Don't add anything else at this point. No liquid smoke please. Cool the broth left over and skim the fat. I add some hot sauce to it but YMMV. Depending on how much you have you can reduce it for dipping the meat or even use it as a stock.

When it is done and tender slice it thin and serve it with some grainy mustard. It will make delicious sandwiches as well. We like it on those little Hawaiian rolls with chopped cucumber, radish and finely shredded cabbage.

You can still make a lovely hash with what is left over.

6. Here's another idea

When the meat is done shred it and mix it with some Picante sauce...I use Pace but any brand or even home made would work great.

You can roll the meat in corn tortillas and make enchiladas or you can just use flour tortillas to make wraps with fresh veggies, sour cream and some guac. YUM!

7. You need corned beef to do corned beef.

However, the pot roast brisket you'll end up with is also suitable for hash. It will also make astonishingly good sandwiches.

You might find you prefer it. I do.
