ROASTED CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE WITH CARROTS, POTATOES & HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE
Corned beef and cabbage is traditionally boiled, but I prefer to roast it in the oven. I also toss the vegetables in horseradish butter to amp up the flavor; it makes ALL the difference.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven the 325°F. Set one oven rack in the middle position and another in the bottom position.
- Rinse the corned beef several times under running cold water. (No need to dry it.)
- Place the corned beef fat side up in a large roasting pan (you'll trim the fat after the meat is cooked). Pour about ⅛ inch water around the meat. Sprinkle the contents of the seasoning packet into the water around the corned beef. Cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil and roast on the middle rack for 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, horseradish, salt and pepper.
- Place the carrots, potatoes and cabbage side by side on a rimmed baking sheet (do not line the pan with foil; the potatoes will stick). Drizzle the horseradish-butter mixture over the veggies and toss with a spatula to coat all of the vegetables evenly, keeping the vegetables separate. Turn the potatoes so that they are cut side down (they'll get crispier that way).
- After the corned beef has roasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes, place the pan of vegetables on the bottom rack of the oven. Roast the vegetables and continue cooking the corned beef for 1 hour and 30 minutes more, until both the meat and vegetables are tender. Check on the veggies occasionally to be sure they are browning evenly. (The cabbage will brown first, so give it a toss when the bottom pieces look golden. The potatoes and carrots may need to be turned, but only if they are nicely browned on the bottom before the cook time is up.)
- Transfer the corned beef to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Cut off the layer of fat on top of the corned beef and discard. Slice the meat against (or perpendicular to) the grain into ¼-inch slices. Arrange the meat on a platter with the roasted vegetables and sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve with the horseradish cream sauce.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more horseradish to taste, if desired.
- Note: You won't use the whole head of cabbage; just use enough to cover ⅓ of the sheet pan.
- Note: The nutritional information does not include the horseradish cream sauce.

CORNED BEEF WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES AND CABBAGE
This updated take on the classic corned beef dinner features extra-crispy roasted cabbage and potato wedges instead of boiled. Serve it drizzled in a dill vinaigrette bursting with all the spices used to make the corned beef, including coriander seeds, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, cloves, and garlic (you're going to want to eat the sauce, so go ahead and make extra).

Steps:
- Place corned beef in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2" and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 3-3 1/2 hours.
- Once beef has been simmering for 2 1/2 hours, arrange racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toss potatoes, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub cabbage wedges with 1/4 cup oil; season on all sides with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Arrange on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning cabbage, tossing potatoes, and rotating sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 45-40 minutes. (The cabbage might be done before the potatoes.)
- Meanwhile, coarsely crush cloves, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 3/4 cup oil and cook, stirring, until garlic sizzles, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Stir in vinegar, honey, and 2 tsp. salt. Let cool, then stir in dill.
- Transfer beef to a cutting board and let sit 10 minutes. Trim off excess fat, then thinly slice against the grain. Serve alongside roasted cabbage and potatoes with dill sauce drizzled over.
CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE, POTATOES AND CARROTS
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.)

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.

CHEF JOHN'S CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
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.

Steps:
- Trim brisket of excess gristle if needed. Do not remove the back-strap of fat as this will season in the cooking. In a 20 quart (or large enough to hold all the ingredients) pot place the brisket pretty side up. Add the spice packet that may have come with the brisket and also - beef broth, bay leaves, peppercorns, coriander seeds, whole allspice, dill seeds, mustard seeds, malt vinegar, whole cloves, packed brown sugar, apple juice, Guinness beer, sea salt & coarsely chopped garlic cloves. Now pour over just enough water to barely cover the brisket. Bring pot to a boil, cover and turn down temperature to simmer on medium for 2 hours. Meanwhile (you have 2 hours, take your time) wash/rinse and remove eyes from potatoes, quarter them, rinse again and set aside in bath of cool water. Also chop the sweet onion into large wedges too and set aside.
- After 2 hours of simmering, drain and add the potatoes to the brisket pot. Also add 1/2 the onion and 5 baby carrots to the pot. Add more water if needed to cover everything; this may not be needed. Bring pot back to a boil, cover and turn down to simmer for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, take the cabbage and peel off the outer leaves, rinse the heads and slice into large quarters. * Cut cabbage down the spine so the wedges stay together. Now add the cleaned cabbage, the remaining onion and the remaining 10 baby carrots to the pot. Cover and simmer again for another 30 minutes at least, stir once or twice. It is really hard to overcook cabbage so rather, just do not undercook it. After 30 minutes check to see if the cabbage is tender, if its not simmer for another 5-10 minutes. If cabbage is tender turn off the burner and let the pot cool a moment on the stove.
- Remove the brisket from the pot, cut lengthwise and place on serving dish with the cabbage. Meanwhile in a large serving bowl, chop the stick of butter into smaller pats. Chop the parsley from its stems and add to the bowl with the butter. Strain out the hot potatoes/carrots/onions from the broth and put right into the bowl, stir until potato mixture is coated in parsley and butter is completely melted. You can toss out the broth or retain the last 1/4 (with the spices) for an au jus sauce.
- Serve all with a dash of sea salt, mustard and horseradish if desired.

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.

Tips:
- To save time, use a slow cooker to prepare the corned beef. Simply place the corned beef brisket in the slow cooker with the pickling spice packet and enough water to cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also braise the corned beef in the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the corned beef brisket in a Dutch oven or roasting pan with the pickling spice packet and enough water to cover. Cover and braise in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- To make the crispy roasted potatoes, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- To cook the cabbage, simply boil it in a large pot of salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Then, drain the cabbage and season with salt, pepper, and butter.
- Serve the corned beef with the crispy roasted potatoes, cabbage, and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Corned beef with crispy roasted potatoes and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other special occasion. This hearty and flavorful dish is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this delicious meal at home.
