PSA: Corned Beef Has Bacon-Like Properties When Grilled Excessively

I ordered a corned beef reuben and the dood cooking it grilled the hell out of the strips of corned beef. I'm standing there sort of half-grimacing thinking "This will not end well."

But I am too nice or rather I have this guilt-ridden catholic mentality that will not allow me to rain on his corned-beef-cooking parade. So I shut up and remind myself how fucking lucky I am to be having a reuben for lunch, and hope for the best.

Well I am happy to report that my wimpiness and quiet desperation yielded a most delicious result! A sandwich that had all the yummy properties of corned beef, yet the crisy awesomeness of bacon.

There is a God!

Think about this, friends, when you order your next reuben. The tender juicy version of corned beef reuben is good, but this might actually be better I think.

Sprite (always thinking of you and providing important tasty food alerts)

Thats what corned beef hash is for Snowsprite. The day after St Patty's I make real corned beef hash to kill the hangover. I make it extra crispy then top it with two eggs over easy. Pure heavenly greasy goodness when you break the yolks over homemade hash.

Ash, or Sean, whoever...if you make it thru Red Lodge on a weekend, that classy old hotel has homemade hash on their brunch menu and it's great! [maybe not as good as yours, but still fun to find in a restaurant].

Spritely! Great call!!!! I can see how the kraut and dressing would balance out the crispiness quite well. Where is the corn in corned beef anyways???:confused:
Reminds of a nice NE boiled dinner. Rideit, we need a corned beef cooking TR, stat! :D

The term "corn" is referring to the large grains of salt that is used in the brining process......its an old term.

It's a sad day in drama hell when important baco-news related bulletins from the saucy maiden go off the wayside into oblivion.

Tho I'm not the crispy type, thank you for this notice. I'll try it on the Mrs since she likes the crunch, but I can't understand her dislike of the corned beefs. Could this be the answer?

Eggs Irish:
1. Half an English Muffin toasted lightly
2. Grilled corn beef hash about 1/2" thick
3. One egg over easy or poached on top of that
4. Cover everything with lots of Hollandaise sauce

Like Eggs Benedict but with much more awesome!
