2 to 2 1/2 pound Corned-Beef Brisket*, recipe follows
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 pound diced carrots, approximately 4 small
1/2 pound diced onions, approximately 2 small
1 pound potatoes, peeled and chopped, approximately 3 medium
1/4 pound diced celery, approximately 2 stalks
1 small head cabbage, chopped, approximately 2 pounds
2 quarts water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons saltpeter
1 cinnamon stick, broken into several pieces
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
8 whole allspice berries
12 whole juniper berries
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pounds ice
1 (4 to 5 pound) beef brisket, trimmed
1 small onion, quartered
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the corned beef, pepper, allspice, bay leaves and salt into a large 8-quart pot along with 3-quarts of water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low and cook, at a low simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
  • After 2 1/2 hours add the carrots, onions, potatoes and celery. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the cabbage and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are tender. Remove the bay leaves and serve immediately.
  • Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
  • After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

FOOLPROOF CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Foolproof Corned Beef And Cabbage image

Provided by Edward Higgins

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 5

2-5 lbs of corned beef in brine, flat cut or round, or any combination. *Do not discard brine.Water to coverPickling Spice (1 tablespoon per package of meat)
4-5 large carrots, peeled and cut into large (4") pieces
1 large rutabaga, peeled and cut into large cubes
2 pounds The potatoes of your choice. Red skinned, new, or fingerling. Cut into large cubes or left whole with skins on if they are small and clean.
1 large 1 large head green cabbage, cut in wedges, leaving the core to hold the leaves together.

Steps:

  • To make the corned beef, open the sealed package right over the slow cooker, because you want to include the brine in the cooking liquid. Don't discard the brine. Place the meat into the cooker and add enough cold water to cover. Add the pickling spices, cover, and cook on high for 6-8 hours.
  • Cooking time depends on the size of the cut, as well as how you like it cooked. The perfect corned beef is tender enough to slice, but without totally "chipping" and falling apart (falling apart is terrific for corned beef hash, but if you're having guests, slices that hold together are a bit more appetizing). Test the meat with a fork, or cut a small piece and taste for tenderness. When the fork goes in without much resistance, you're about there.
  • When the meat is almost done, and you are about an hour from dinner, ladle out most of the cooking liquid and place in a large, heavy bottomed cooking pot. Add the cut potatoes, carrots and rutabaga. Start the root vegetables first, and then add the cabbage, which only needs to cook for 15-20 minutes to desired tenderness.
  • Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables, cabbage and a generous slice of warm, buttered Irish Soda Bread.
  • Remember, any imperfect slices, chunks or chips of corned beef won't go to waste, as they'll be perfect for hash!

Categories     Meat

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 corned beef brisket, about 4 lbs
1 corned beef, spice packet
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 medium brown onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves
4 lbs small red potatoes or 4 lbs yellow potatoes
8 large carrots, peeled
1 medium head of cabbage, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grainy mustard, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup reserved corned beef cooking liquid
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the corned beef in a large dutch oven, along with the contents of the spice packet included in the corned beef, brown sugar, bay leaves, onion, and garlic. Fill with enough cold water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the flame, cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the beef is tender.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the onions and garlic (they've done their job and have given all their flavor already).
  • Peel the potatoes, I use red potatoes and peel only the center because I like the look of it, but feel free to peel all of it or don't peel at all. Cut the carrots into large chunks. Place the potatoes and carrots into the pot with the brisket. Return to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat and simmer until fork tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. It depends on how big your potatoes are.
  • Transfer the potatoes and carrots to a platter and keep warm. Add in the sliced cabbage, I like to keep the core in the cabbage so that the sliced wedges stay in tact, making it easier to move later. Bring back up to a boil over high heat. Lower the flame and simmer for 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender as well.
  • Transfer the cabbage to the platter along with the potatoes and carrots and move the brisket to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Arrange the sliced beef along with the vegetables on the platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with grainy mustard and horseradish sauce (recipe follows).
  • To make the sauce, set a medium saucepan over moderate heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds or so. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the liquid that the beef cooked inches Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, horseradish, salt and pepper.

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 Bev I Am

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups hot water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 large onion, cut into quarters
3 lbs corned beef brisket (with spices)
8 small white potatoes or 8 small yellow potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
1 head cabbage, cored and cut into 10 wedges (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 -5 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the water vinegar, sugar, pepper and onions, in a 6 qt crock pot and mix well.
  • Place corned beef and contents of spice packet in the mixture.
  • Scatter the potatoes and carrots over the top and along the sides.
  • Cover and cook on high heat setting 4 hours.
  • Remove the lid and scatter the cabbage wedges over the top.
  • Cover and continue cooking on low 3-4 hours longer, or until beef is tender.
  • To serve, carve the beef into slices against the grain and serve with the cabbage and potatoes, with some of the cooking liquid spooned on top of the beef to keep it moist.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of corned beef. Brisket is the traditional cut of corned beef, but you can also use chuck roast or rump roast. If you're using a brisket, look for one that is flat and evenly trimmed.
  • Brine the corned beef for at least 5 days. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can brine the corned beef in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, pickling spices, and bay leaves.
  • Rinse the corned beef before cooking. This will help to remove the excess salt from the meat.
  • Simmer the corned beef until it is fall-apart tender. This will typically take 3-4 hours. You can cook the corned beef in a pot on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
  • Serve the corned beef with traditional accompaniments, such as cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and horseradish sauce.

Corned beef and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this delicious and hearty meal at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
