Cooking Tips

Corned beef can be prepared in a smoker, oven baked, on the stove top and using sous vide. Here are some guidelines, regardless of the method you choose. 

Be sure to completely thaw your corned beef before cooking. 

Cook at a low temperature with your favorite liquid - water, beef broth, beer or cider to braise and tenderize the beef. 

Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand. 

The bottom round is a bit more dense than brisket. Target a finished temperature of 180°F. 

Slice your finished corned beef against the grain: 90 degrees to the direction of the muscle fibers. This makes for a more tender bite. 

Beef Grading

Snake River Farms beef grades start at USDA Prime, the top grade on the USDA scale. The majority of SRF beef is marbled well beyond this level. To grade SRF, we use a 12-point Beef Marbling Score (BMS), which measures marbling that exceeds the USDA scale.

SRF Silver® - BMS of 4 to 5. Marbling comparable to USDA Prime. 

SRF Black® - BMS of 6 to 8. Significantly more marbling than USDA Prime.   

SRF Gold® - BMS of 9 to 10. Dramatically more marbling than USDA Prime. 

SRF Gold Plus™ - BMS of 11 to 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.

Brisket

The brisket primal is sourced from the lower chest area, specifically the pectoral muscles of beef cattle. Known to be more tough due to the heavy use of the muscles, when cooked properly, it is extremely flavorful. Briskets are comprised of two main sections: the "point" (superficial pectoral muscle) and the "flat" (deep pectoral muscle). The "deckle" is the hard fat and intercostal meat on the inside surface of the brisket; however, some refer to the point as a deckle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called corned beef?

Corned beef gets its name from the large-grain salts traditionally used to brine it, which in Old English were called “corns.” So, what is corned beef exactly? It’s a brisket that’s cured in a salty brine with some pickling spices for at least five days. The Snake River Farms corned beef brisket is made with our signature recipe of seasonings and spices for a savory and mouthwatering flavor. The key ingredient to this upscale comfort food is our beautifully marbled, exceptionally juicy American Wagyu beef.

How much corned beef per person?

Eight ounces of corned beef per person is a good serving size. If your table includes more robust appetites or if you want to plan for leftovers, add extra servings to your calculations. Corned beef will shrink about 20% during the cooking process.

How to cook corned beef

Braised corned beef is our preferred method of cooking corned beef over boiling. Pro tip: sear each side of the corned beef before cooking in the oven. The brown sear adds a ton of flavor and helps set the external texture.
