Corny Beef Jig “ is a playful nod to a Jiggs Dinner , an iconic, traditional comfort food from Newfoundland. Named after the character “Jiggs” from the early 20th-century comic strip Bringing Up Father, this satisfying, one-pot feast historically features salt-cured beef or corned beef boiled slowly with root vegetables and cabbage.
Mastering this ultimate boiled dinner comes down to five straightforward steps: 1. Prep and De-Salt the Beef
Rinse the meat: Wash your corned beef or salt beef brisket under cold running water.
Control the salt: Soaking overly salty beef in fresh water overnight is highly recommended.
Trim excess fat: Leave a thin layer on top of the brisket to keep the meat juicy during the long boil. 2. Establish the Base Boil
