Best Corned Beef Ever

When we finished our corn beef and cabbage dinner I had to get the packaging out of the trash so I could remember to buy this very same corned beef next time we go to Sam's. It was by far the best that we have ever had. So tender and delicious. Can't wait to fix ruebens with the left overs.

Best ever!

11 hours in a slow cooker on low will get you the most tender and flavorful corned beef you've ever had! Anyone who says this is tough or chewy does not know how to cook! This stuff is foolproof. The slow cooker method is stupid simple. I know there are lots of ways to cool corned beef, but I know this method works every time.

Where is the beef ?

My wife and I have been purchasing Grobbel's corned beef for almost 30 years. From 30 years ago to now the size of the corned beef has shrunk by 2/3rds so take 3 separate packages put them together that's the size they use to be. About 20yrs ago they started injecting the meat with water so they shrink by a considerable amount. This year we put 3 in a roaster with 1" of water. Wife tell me after 3hrs of cooking to check the water level. The water level was almost to the top of the roaster. Of the 3 corned beef: 1st not bad, 2nd lots of fat and marbling throughout, 3rd all fat no meat. The only fat on corned beef is the fat cap, the meat should be red and zero fat. Will never ever buy from this company ever again. Very sad

The WORST Corned Beef I Have Ever Seen

I picked up two of these this past week and cooked them today. Immediately upon opening them, I realized this was a bad purchase. Both of them were mostly fat; I understand they are briskets and typically have quite a bit of fat, but these were incredibly fatty with very little meat. So disappointed to pay for "Gourmet" and get "Garbage."

Terribly Fatty

I recently bought a corned beef brisket from my local Sam's. After cooking according to instructions, I let it cool so it could be sliced for sandwiches. I planned to have some of the brisket for dinner and have enough leftover for sandwiches. I had enough brisket for two sandwiches and about 4 ounces leftover - not even close to enough for dinner. The total yield out of this brisket was about one pound of cooked meat - and the rest was fat and packing liquid. I had to discard at least a pound of fat after cooking. We're not talking about a little marbling or normal fat - we are talking about huge slabs of fat that were greater than the amount of meat. I don't know what is meant by hand trimmed - but this amount of fat is completely unacceptable.

Extremely disappointed

I purchased two Groebbels corned beef briskets for a family dinner, and I have never been more disappointed. I've been buying and cooking this brand for years and have never had a bad one—until now. Both pieces had zero flavor, were full of gristle, and were tough and dry. This was absolutely not user error. I've cooked hundreds of pounds of corned beef over decades, and I consistently end up with tender, flavorful results. These were completely inedible. I'm honestly shocked at the decline in quality. This was $60 of meat straight into the trash, and an entire family dinner ruined. Groebbels needs to take a serious look at their quality control. I won't be purchasing this brand again unless something changes.

Perfect for Ketovore!

The taste was excellent, everything I remember about corned beef as a child. The instructions were simple. I didn't see the other reviews until after I had cooked it. This cut was not too fat, but on Keto you want the fat, so it could have had more fat if truth be told! I will look for this each time I head to Sam's now - I could use an extra in the freezer!! A must-purchase for those who want something delish and has the right macros!

Best I ever had

This is the best Corned Beef you could buy. I've bought from several different brands, from other places and not only were they much more expensive, but they we not nearly as good as this one. This one is delicious and the quality is outstanding. Very little fat. Only what is needed. The others that I have purchased that were more expensive I will NEVER buy again. They were extremely fatty and some were even dry and chewy. The cuts were wrong which made it chewy and also made it hard to slice. This one is perfect. Cut the right way. Enough fat for preserving and cooking (and flavor). Tender. Extremely tasteful. I have cooked this one several times for guests, who were always surprised and have stated they never knew corned beef was good. They loved it - So does all my boys. We even make sandwiches with it.

Terrible

This was the worst corned beef I've ever cooked. No matter which way I sliced it it was incredibly tough! I've been making corned beef for 40+ years so I know what I'm doing. In addition to the toughness, about 1/3 of it turned out to be fat. Usually on a flat cut the only fat is what you could see on the top of thr roast. There was a lage amount of hidden fat on this roast! I don't know if Sam's has switched brands or not but, I've always been able to buy great corned beef there in addition to other great meat. No more of Goebbel's for me!!

The Best

This corned beef is awesome. Nothing like what they sell in the grocery store that looks like a pork butt. This is a FLAT, I don't have to wait till March to buy it. This is sooo good. I normally buy 3 a month. This is the Best cut of Corned Beef you can buy. It has a slim layer of fat on top, for flavor & cooking, Don't forget to add the seasoning packet. It melts in your mouth, with goodness.
