Beef Brine
Have you ever brined your meat? Why in the world would you brine your meat? According to Food 52.com brining was used for preserving food back in the days they didn’t have refrigeration. There are two main reasons why you should brine your meat…..flavor and texture. Brining infuses the meat with added flavor and tenderizers the meat, so if you have never tried it before, you should.
Ingredients
Boil the water and stir in all of the other ingredients except the meat.
Let the brine cool to room temperature.
Place the meat into a large ziploc bag and pour the liquid brine into the bag.
Squeeze out all of the air and zip the bag closed.
Place the bag on a deep plate (in case the bag should leak)
and refrigerate it overnight.
Cook your roast by using your favorite method such
as the oven, grill or smoking which is how we made this one.

Looks tasty
Thank you sir!
Brining turkeys is big down here. Especially for Thanksgiving.
I love brined turkey! My son started having us every year for Thanksgiving and he brines his. So good!
And a brined, garlic butter injected, FRIED turkey is even better! 😋🐷
I have never tried a fried turkey yet. I want to so bad but the news shows all the fires and people getting burned from the fryers that I have shied away. I wish somebody I knew would make one just so I can taste it. They look so good!!!
Hmmm, this looks interesting. Maybe I will try this for a roast instead of slow cooker and see how the kids like it. Thanks for sharing.
Let me know what you think. We love the flavor! I have only had it cooked in
the smoker and I am curious how it turns out roasted in the oven.
I will, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Definitely going to try this. I wonder how a leg of lamb would turn out?
I frequently brine pork loin, chops, etc. as it keeps the meat much moister when cooked.
It is amazing isn’t it and you’re right, so moist! Have a great weekend!
