After an hour I added a cup of water, let the beef cook for another half hour and then added the vegetables.
I let it cook for another half hour, keeping the fire fairly small ...
One end of the meat did get a little overdone, but all in all, I'd say this was a successful experiment ...
Enjoy!

I thought I'd show you what the fireplace looks like in case you were thinking that you need some kind of massive open hearth to cook this way ... it's actually quite small ...
...and here's FitzGyver installing our "Green" fireplace insert ....
Enjoy!
You can never go wrong with corned beef and to me it tastes just as good over cooked.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous food! And fun to make, too. Irv and I went to our Big R store, but they didn't have the flat top Lodge dutch ovens, only with domed regular lids. The ones I liked weren't pre-seasoned. I don't want to go thru the seasoning process.
ReplyDeletePenny, I think the best source for the preseasoned "camp style" oven is probably Amazon.com ....
ReplyDeleteGee Thanks! Now I'm dreaming about corned beef (one of my very favorite meals)! I'm heading up to the cabin for the weekend...gonna' grab some corned beef and some cabbage and try out my hearth for cooking, too...looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely delicious. I am currently working on refining a variation of the no knead bread recipe and once I have all the adjustments figured out - plan to post about it sometime in the future. I do alot more cooking/baking during the dark days of winter.
ReplyDeleteLynda, corned beef is one of my favorites, too. I always used to boil it but have found that roasting makes for a lot more flavor...
ReplyDeleteLaura, I'll look forward to your bread post ... I'm thinking of trying a rye/pumpernickle version : )
