How to Make Corned Beef at Home

I’ve been trying to make corned beef not to make a classic pinoy breakfast like cornsilog but because of the Corned beef Sinigang in Sentro. We tried it on my last birthday and they’re so good, I kept dreaming about them. Sour and salty, and oh so flavorful! Sinigang and corned beef is a marriage made in food heaven.
But the thing is, you can’t make corned beef sinigang with the canned corned beef you can buy in the supermarket. I once bought a whole slab of corned beef at Santi’s and I was crying inside because it’s so costly.
So the solution, make corned beef at home. Corned beef is a little scary to make. All those ingredients deserve to be in a science project and not in a recipe. But once you make it, it’s so satisfying. Hooray for homemade!
I found this recipe in an old food blog here. It’s designed to be a #kumikitangkabuhayan recipe and you can use it for selling. I just made a few changes since this is for home recipe so there’s no need to flake it.
You can buy these ingredients in Divisoria (I’m not sure where), or you can check my shop.
Trivia! Corned beef doesn’t have corn in them. The corned part means salted, or salt cured using large rocksalt called “corns” and the Irish probably coined it.
