I cannot say I am this dedicated, despite my Irish husband, but some of you out there surely are.

If you want corned beef on St. Paddy’s Day and want it home-brined, you need to get started NOW. No kidding.

Want to learn how? Here’s Tony Maws of Craigie-on-Main in this demo on how to prep, in several steps, your own glorious beef for a scrumptious St. Patrick’s Day meal. It’s a 5-7 day process.

In this next video, Maws shows how to make corned beef hash. Much quicker.

Thanks to how2heroes.com once again for sharing the love!

P.S. Keep your eyes and ears peeled next week for Radio Boston’s interview with Jack Epstein of Boston Brisket Company…
