Perfect Corned Beef From The Microwave

Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 kg corned beef (3.3lbs)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 oven cooking bag

Recipe

• 1 place corned beef into oven bag.
• 2 add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
• 3 shake to mix.
• 4 place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
• 5 pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
• 6 microwave on high for 10 minutes.
• 7 then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
• 8 allow to stand for 30 minutes.
• 9 slice and serve hot.
• 10 (leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
• 11 note:- it is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. the bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.
