Air Fryer Corned Beef

The Air Fryer is the newest and next best piece of kitchen equipment since the microwave. Air Fryers can cook anything from crispy pizza to boiled eggs without boiling. These gadgets save you time and a lot of clean-up in the kitchen. Corned beef has always been one of those proteins full of salty, savory goodness. Corned beef can be made into so many dishes be savored from a breakfast hash, layered in hot sandwiches, or carved up at the dinner table. The long process of making corned beef starts by using beef brisket soaked in brine for up to 10 days.

The brine comprises water, salt, sugar, mustard seeds, allspice, juniper berries, black peppercorns, and crushed bay leaves. Fortunately, you can now purchase high-quality briskets that have already been perfectly brined to save you all that time. The brisket is located above the foreshank and below the chuck portion of the cow. Typically, it is a tough cut of meat that requires a long cooking process. However, your air fryer, aluminum foil, and brined brisket are all you need. Considering the brine is rinsed off, corned beef is a keto-friendly high protein option for you to enjoy, containing zero carbohydrates and 30 grams of protein per serving. Make a few and freeze them for up to 3 months in airtight freezer bags for a mouth-watering meal in minutes.
