What is Corned Beef?Corned beef starts out as the same beef that gives you your favorite steaks and roasts. It’s the “Curing” process that transforms it into corned beef. Curing meats was used as a preservation technique for meat and fish going back to the Romans and even before that to ancient civilizations in and around Mesopotamia. Packing beef in salt or brine (salt water) along with small amounts of special rare salts causes the meat to be preserved and turn pink, even after it’s been cooked. That is also the reason that cured and smoked ham stays pink after it is cooked. Frank Wigley, back in 1880’s England, used these techniques along with his own recipe of spices to create Wigleys Corned Beef.
