What are the traditional corned beef seasonings?

Answer by  marygold (109)

The traditional seasonings of corned beef are coriander and peppercorn. Nowadays most people just use good old-fashioned rock salt, or, if you're really lazy, a seasoning packet which often comes with the beef. The "beef" part of corned beef is a brisket which you can purchase at any local supermarket.

There is no specific spice seasoning for corned beef. You start with a beef brisket and you would brine it in a heavy salt solution with a pickling spice. You can buy pickling spice in supermarkets or you can make it yourself. Black peppercorns, some type of dried chili, juniper berries, star anise, allspice, mustard seed, and bay leaves.

Of course, salt is a huge part of corning beef. Instead of kosher salt, you could try pickling salt which takes off some of the bitter taste. Aprat from the salt, the other seasonings used are bay leaves and peppercorns, either whole or freshly grouned. To add some sweetness, brown sugar can be rubbed on the brisket prior to cooking.
