The spleen is an organ in the upper left abdomen, which filters blood, disposes of worn-out red blood cells, and provides a 'reserve supply' of blood. It contains both red tissue, and white lymphatic tissue. The major (encapsulated) lymphatic organs are the lymph nodes, thymus and spleen.
Place the brined corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven along with the liquid and spices that accompanied it in the package. Pour in enough water to cover the beef, then bring the water to a boil on the stovetop. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the pot. A three-pound corned beef could take three hours or more to become perfectly tender. Check the meat occasionally, adding more water if necessary. The beef is ready when it pulls apart easily.
When you take a bite, the meat should pull off the bone with a slight tug but not fall off the bone. 6. Rest and cut. When itâs time for the ribs to come off the grill, first let them rest and cool down for about 15 minutes so that theyâre easier to handle and slice. When itâs time to slice the ribs, cut between the bones using a sharp knife. Notice the telltale smoke rings around the outer edges of the ribs.
