Equipment

Wet paper towel

Ingredients

1 slice corned beef

Instructions

Place slices on a microwave-safe plate, either in a single layer or overlapping.
Cover the slices with a very wet paper towel.
Microwave on HIGH for 20-30 seconds.
Let cool slightly before eating.

Notes

This method won’t really work for larger servings, as you’ll have too many overlapping or stacked slices to heat evenly.

The wet paper towel produces steam which heats the meat.

This is a great way to get moist corned beef, as one of the reasons people shy away from microwaving meat is a fear of a dry, tough end product.

If you don’t want to use a paper towel, another option is to sprinkle water over the corned beef and then cover the plate with plastic wrap. Make sure to poke holes in the plastic wrap before heating.
