Corned elk brisket

I brined it for four days. The brine is two cups salt, half cup sugar, 4 tsp pink salt, few cloves minced garlic and pickling spice, per gallon of water.

Then when ready, slow cook it all day in water and pickling spices.
 
In my opinion one of the best ways to treat elk “roasts”. When I do pastrami I inject it with either lard or beef tallow to keep it moist. Works like a charm.
 
I just corned the neck of a muley buck. I will never do a neck another way. If I served it to you and told you it was beef brisket you'd believe me.

Have you, or anyone else here, tried using any cuts other than neck or brisket for corning? I’m curious if some of the hind quarter cuts would work. Thanks for sharing, I’m a big fan of corned beef and will definitely be trying your recipe!

I know it’s probably not as good as elk, but I have buddies who have done it with big goose breasts. Which would make me think that if you can make that taste good, you could probably use any cut off of the elk haha

The trick is to spiral cut the big pieces to cure and then butcher string it back to cook.

Spiral cutting is essentially making a long fillet by unrolling the meat while making a half inch (ish) cut.....you'll end up with a long flat (ish) piece that takes brine well.
