FULLY COOKED CORNED BEEF: Whole or half pieces
YOUR CORNED BEEF IS FULLY COOKED. IT SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FRIDGE BUT CAN BE SERVED COLD, AT ROOM TEMP, OR HOT. HERE'S HOW WE RECOMMEND WARMING IT UP...
1. Remove your corned beef brisket from its package and let rest at room temp for about 30-60 minutes.
2. Put in a large pan and cover with water or a mixture of water + light beef stock or beer or both.
3. Bring the liquid barely to a boil then immediately reduce heat and gently simmer, estimating about 7-10 minutes per pound. (The time it takes to fully warm your corned beef depends on how cold it was going into the pan.)
4. When the brisket has reached an internal temperature of about 140F-145F, remove it from the cooking liquid and let rest for about 10 minutes loosely covered with tin foil. Remove foil, slice and serve.
