Corned beef must be kept moist and cook longer than other meats, because it is a less tender meat. It can come from a brisket, round or rump cut. Follow all cooking instructions when cooking corned beef, because it will still be pink when it is done and you cannot use the typical method of checking color as your indicator. One cooking method that works well for corned beef is the oven.
