Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes. Add the mustard to a blender cup, and add the hot chicken stock. Immediately cover and blend on high until the sauce appears thickened and frothy. Season with salt and pepper.

14. 1/2 cup white wine
15. 2 cups chicken stock
16. 1/2 cup country mustard (grained mustard)

19. Plating:
20. Place a mound of the hash on a plate and top with the cooked steak. Ladle the mustard sauce around the plate and garnish with the onion pickle and some chopped cilantro and parsley.
21. Excluding the steaks, puree all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Marinate the steaks for about 15 to 20 minutes in the puree and set aside. On a hot grill, cook the steaks, about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Let rest for 3 minutes.
22. Cook the julienne potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 4 minutes, or until the potatoes are al dente, shock in ice water and drain well.
23. In a very hot skillet, add the oil and saute the onions, garlic, cabbage, corned beef and potatoes until well browned and crispy. Finish with the chopped herbs and salt and pepper.
24. In a dry skillet, toast the mustard seeds, peppercorns, coriander and Thai bird chiles until aromatic. Mix the water, salt, sugar, bay leaves and toasted spices well. Add the brisket to the brine and refrigerate, covered for 2 to 3 days.
25. After well brined, remove the brisket and transfer to a medium stock pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Simmer the beef until very fork tender, adding more water as needed, about 3 hours. Cool the meat in the liquid to retain additional flavor.
