Corned Beef



March just wouldn't be the same without a corned beef dinner. It usually goes on special during the month of March at my grocery store so it is great on a budget as well as being a family favorite. I use a pressure cooker to make my corned beef but you could do about the same in a crock pot. I serve mine with sauted cabbage and cooked carrots.
Serves 6-8

1 3-4 pound brisket(raw corned beef)
2 large onions
beef stock
seasoning packet(you'll find it in the package with the meat)

Spray the inside of the pressure cooker or crock pot insert with cooking spray. Slice the onions and lay them on the bottom of your crock pot or pressure cooker. Place the meat on top. Sprinkle the contents of the spice packet over the meat. Pour enough stock to cover the meat. If using the crock pot, cover and cook on low for about 8-10 hours. If using the pressure cooker, secure the lid and place it on the stove with the burner turned up to high. Place the regulator on the top. When the regulator starts to rock, turn the heat down to medium/high. This will take several minutes so be patient. Start your timer when the regulator begins to rock and cook the meat for 45 minutes. Remove the entire cooker from the heat to the sink. Run cold water over the cover until the lock releases. Open carefully and place the meat onto a serving platter. Cover with foil and let sit for about 10 minutes. Toss out the cooking liquid.Slice and serve.
