1 answer

To ferment corned beef using a brine solution, start by dissolving salt and sugar in water to create the brine. You can also add spices like peppercorns, mustard seeds, and garlic for flavor. Cut the beef into pieces and place it in a clean container, then pour the brine over the meat, ensuring it's fully submerged. Help keep the meat below the surface by using a weight, like a plate or clean stones. Cover the container and let it sit in a cool, dark place for about 5 to 10 days, checking it daily and refrigerating if necessary. After fermentation, the meat will have taken on the salty, tangy flavor of corned beef, and you can then cook it as desired.
