1/2 medium onion, with skin on
2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • Remove the beef from the pot, wrap in foil, and keep warm.
  • Strain the cooking liquid, and add it back to the pot, discarding the onion and spices.
  • Bring the liquid back to a simmer, and add the vegetables in this order-- (you should end up with all the veggies in the pot together) cabbage--give it about 4 minutes, then add turnips--give them about 5 minutes, then add carrots--give them about 3 minutes, and then add potatoes, simmering for about 10-15 more minutes.
  • They should all be fork tender.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -4 1/2 lbs corned beef brisket, preferably second cut
1 cup dried pink beans (1/2 pound) or 1 cup dried pinto bean (1/2 pound)
1 medium onion, peeled and pierced with
1 whole clove
1 teaspoon salt
16 small firm young beets
8 medium boiling potatoes, scrubbed
8 medium carrots, peeled
1 large rutabaga, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 lbs firm green cabbage, trimmed, quartered and cored
1 bunch fresh parsley sprig, trimmed, washed and thoroughly drained

Steps:

  • Place the brisket in a 5 to 6 quart casserole and add enough water to cover it by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, meanwhile skimming off the scum and foam as they rise to the surface.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender and shows no resistance when pierced deeply with the point of a skewer or small knife. (Check the pot from, time to time. The water should cover the brisket throughout the entire cooking time; add boiling water to the casserole if needed.).
  • Meanwhile, in a heavy 2 to 3 quart saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil over high heat. Drop in the dried beans (1 cup dried horticultural shell beans, such as cranberry beans, or substitute dried pink or pinto beans (1/2 pound) and boil them for about 2 minutes. (The water should cover the beans by at least 2 inches; if necessary, add more.)
  • Turn off the heat and let the beans soak for 1 hour.
  • Then add the clove pierced onion and the salt and bring to a boil again.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. (Check he beans occasionally; add more boiling water if needed.) Drain the beans and discard the onion.
  • With a small, sharp knife cut the tops from the beets, leaving about 1 inch of stem on each. Scrub the beets under cold running water, then place them in a 3 to 4 quart saucepan and pour in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer until the beets show no resistance when pierced with the point of a small skewer or knife. This may take from 30 minutes to 2 hours; add boiling water to the beets if necessary. Drain the beets and, when they are cool enough to handle, slip off their skins.
  • The potatoes, carrots and about 1 1/2 pound peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices rutabaga may be cooked together in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water. Drop the vegetables into the pot and cook briskly, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain, then peel the potatoes with a small knife.
  • Cook the cabbage separately by dropping the quarters into enough salted boiling water to cover them completely. Reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is almost tender but still somewhat resistant when pierced with the point of a small sharp knife. Drain thoroughly and cut each quarter into halves.
  • To serve the boiled dinner, carve the beef and arrange the slices slightly overlapping attractively along the center of a large, heated platter. Surround the meat with mounds of individual vegetables and garnish the platter with the parsley. Horseradish, mustard and pickles are spicy accompaniments to a corned beef dinner. Serves 8.

IRISH BOILED DINNER (CORNED BEEF)



Irish Boiled Dinner (Corned Beef) image

Mouth watering tender corned beef with corned beef flavored potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. This is my great grandmothers recipe from Ireland. This was served with both Irish soda bread and corn bread at our house.

Provided by Ann Hester

Time 6h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (5 1/2 pound) corned beef brisket
2 large onions
15 small white (Irish) potatoes
10 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 heads cabbage, cored and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse the beef brisket under cold water, and place in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the roast by 6 inches. Peel the onions, and place them in the pot with the roast. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 30 minutes at a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low so that the water is at a gentle boil, cover, and cook for 3 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the lid from the brisket. Remove onions, and cut into wedges. Return them to the pot. Add carrots to the pot, then place the cabbage over the roast. Place the potatoes on top of the cabbage. Place the lid back on the pot, and cook for another 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. The potatoes should be immersed in the water by now, but if not, keep the lid on so they can steam.
  • Remove the vegetables from the pot, and place in a separate serving bowl. Keep the corned beef in the pot until ready to slice and serve because it dries out quickly.

CHEF JOHN'S CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Chef John's Corned Beef and Cabbage image

It's almost St. Patrick's Day, and for many that means boiling up a nice authentic Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage. The original Irish recipe actually used a type of lean bacon, made with a cut of pork similar to Canadian bacon. Corned beef came into the picture as a lower-cost substitution, to replace the more expensive and harder to find cut.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     UK and Ireland     Irish

Time 4h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
3 quarts water
1 onion, quartered
3 carrots, cut into large chunks
3 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds red potatoes, halved
1 small head cabbage, cut into eighths

Steps:

  • Combine corned beef and spice packet contents, water, onion, carrots, celery, and salt together in a large pot or Dutch oven; bring to a simmer, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  • Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is almost fork-tender, about 3 hours. Add potatoes and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are almost tender, about 30 minutes more.
  • Place cabbage pieces on top of and around meat, cover the pot, and simmer until cabbage is tender, 20 to 30 minutes more.
  • Remove meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Cut across the grain and serve in a bowl; ladle vegetables and broth over the top.

Tips:

  • To ensure the corned beef is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) before removing it from the pot.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, boil the corned beef for 45 minutes per pound, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  • Add vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions to the pot along with the corned beef to create a complete meal.
  • Serve the corned beef and cabbage with traditional accompaniments such as horseradish sauce, mustard, and rye bread.
  • If you have leftover corned beef, use it to make sandwiches, salads, or hash.

Conclusion:

Boiled corned beef and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day celebration or any other special occasion. It is a hearty and flavorful meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this delicious dish at home.
