Best 2 Beer Braised Corned Beef With Red Potatoes And Carrots Recipes

CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE, POTATOES AND CARROTS

Corned Beef With Cabbage, Potatoes and Carrots image

Cure beef brisket in a salty, spiced brine and it becomes savory, tangy and aromatic corned beef. Get a corned beef made from flat-cut brisket, if you can, as it will be easier to slice into neat, uniform slabs. (The point cut has more striations of fat and may fall apart when sliced.) Braise the meat until tender, and add the vegetables toward the end of the braising time so they'll absorb the beef juices and soften until perfectly crisp-tender. Finish the beef with a simple honey-mustard glaze and a quick broil to caramelize, then serve it with more Dijon mustard and beer. (Here are slow cooker and pressure cooker versions of the recipe.)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 to 3 1/2-pound ready-to-cook corned beef, preferably flat-cut
1 1/4 cups semi-dry white wine, such as Riesling
1 pound red or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
2 to 3 large carrots (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1/2 small head green or savoy cabbage (about 1 pound), core left intact, cut into 4 wedges
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons honey
Flaky sea salt, if necessary
Black pepper

Steps:

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the corned beef from its packaging in the sink and reserve the spice packet. Rinse the beef well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. (If you don't rinse off the brine, the meat will be too salty.) If there is a substantial fat cap on top of the beef, place the beef on a cutting board and trim most of it, if you'd like. (The fat will not completely render away during cooking.) Be sure to leave at least a thin layer of fat on top, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, to keep the meat moist.
Transfer the corned beef to a large Dutch oven with the fat cap facing up. Add the wine and the spices from the packet. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven to cook, 3 hours.
Baste the beef with the cooking liquid. Drop the potatoes and carrots into the liquid surrounding the beef and lay the cabbage wedges on top. Cover and cook until the corned beef and vegetables are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (A paring knife should slip easily into the beef, but the meat should not be falling apart.)
Heat the broiler to high. Stir together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Remove the corned beef from the pot and put it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Spoon the honey-mustard glaze all over the top and sides of the beef and slide it under the broiler. Cook until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes in spots, about 3 minutes.
Let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch slabs. Place the beef slices on the serving platter alongside the vegetables and drizzle everything with a little bit of the cooking liquid. Taste the vegetables, and season them with flaky sea salt, if necessary. (The beef will not need to be seasoned with salt.) Season the beef and vegetables to taste with black pepper. Serve with Dijon mustard.

BRAISED CORNED BEEF BRISKET

Braised Corned Beef Brisket image

You have never had corned beef like this and if you try it, I truly believe you will never go back to the traditionally 'boiled' beef. This recipe was given to my mother-in-law during WWII by her Jewish boarding house owner and it has become a treasured family recipe. Unlike the commonly boiled corned beef, this is a slow braise that is tender, flavorful, and has a caramelized surface when it's done. I serve it with colcannon, steamed cabbage wedges, braised carrots, and parsnips. It is our favorite St. Patrick's/Jewish dinner, but we love it so much that I cook it year around.

Tips

To make the corned beef more flavorful, marinate it in the beer and spices for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days.
If you don't have time to marinate the corned beef, you can still make this recipe, but the flavor will be less intense.
When cooking the corned beef, be sure to keep the liquid at a simmer. This will help to tenderize the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or braising pan.
Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides, such as boiled cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.

Conclusion

This beer-braised corned beef is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other special occasion. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, you will be able to make this recipe with ease.
