Description
Forget the store-bought spice packet—this homemade corned beef seasoning is packed with bold, aromatic flavors that make every bite unforgettable. Easy, customizable, and way more flavorful!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds (yellow or brown)
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- ½ tsp allspice berries
- ½ tsp cardamom seeds (or pods)
- ½ tsp celery seeds
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Toast mustard seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, allspice, cardamom, celery seeds, and cloves in a dry pan over medium heat for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Transfer toasted spices to a spice grinder or food processor.
- Add red pepper flakes, ground ginger, and bay leaves (break them up a bit).
- Pulse until you have a coarse blend—chunky, not powdery.
- Sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons over rinsed brisket before cooking. Store any leftovers in a sealed jar up to 6 months.
Notes
No salt needed—corned beef is already brined. Toasting your spices is key to unlocking flavor. Keep the blend coarse for that deli-style texture.
