Salted Beef Products

Beef can be preserved with large quantities of salt or through the use of brine solutions. The preservation process lengthens the time that the products can be safely used.

Salt Beef

Salt beef is usually a cut from the round section that is soaked in a brine solution. Some types of salt beef need to be soaked in water before they are used because the brine may be particularly salty.

Pastrami

Pastrami is a salted beef product that is seasoned with peppercorns and spices and is dry-cured and smoked. It is popular as sliced delicatessen meat.

Corned Beef

 

Corned beef refers to beef that has been preserved and flavored in a brine solution that is usually prepared with salt, which acts as a preservative. Sugar is stirred into the brine solution, which prevents the meat from getting hard due to the presence of the salt. Also added to the solution is saltpeter, which helps to maintain the red coloring of the meat and various spices are added for flavoring. The reason it is called corned beef is because the old English word "corned" was used to describe beef that was cured and the word "corn" was the word describing a small kernel or particle such as the particles of salt that were used. Corned beef is available as a sliced deli meat for sandwiches or whole corned beef briskets are available that are often served with cooked cabbage.
