HOMEMADE CORNED BEEF WITH VEGETABLES

The brisket in this Homemade Corned Beef with Vegetables needs to brine for two weeks, so plan ahead. Pink curing salt develops flavor and while the brisket can be made without it, the result won't be as intense.

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 quarts water
1 cup coarse salt
1 tablespoon pink curing salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon mustard seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
1 cinnamon stick, crushed
4 dried bay leaves, crushed
8 whole cloves
5 pounds flat-cut beef brisket
1 medium onion, halved
1 medium celery stalk, halved
1 medium carrot, peeled, halved
1 pound baby turnips, peeled, trimmed
1 pound baby carrots, peeled, trimmed
1 medium head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
1 pound small red potatoes
Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add salts, sugar, and spices; remove from heat, and stir until salts and sugar dissolve. Let cool.
  • Make the corned beef: Place brisket in a nonreactive container just large enough to hold it. Pour cooled brine over meat. Place 2 small plates on top to keep meat submerged; cover, and refrigerate for 2 weeks.
  • Rinse brisket; discard brine. Place in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add onion, celery, and halved carrot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  • Set a steamer in a large saucepan. Add enough water to reach the bottom, and bring to a boil. Add turnips. Reduce heat, cover, and steam until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with baby carrots, steaming 10 to 12 minutes. Add to turnips.
  • Transfer corned beef to a cutting board. Tent with foil, and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard remaining solids from broth, then bring to a boil. Add cabbage and potatoes, and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Add turnips and carrots, and cook until warmed through. Transfer vegetables to a platter; reserve broth.
  • Trim excess fat from beef. Slice thinly against grain, and transfer to platter. Serve with broth and mustard.

HOMEMADE IRISH CORNED BEEF AND VEGETABLES



Homemade Irish Corned Beef and Vegetables image

Spicy horseradish cream and malty Guinness mustard amp up the flavor of this home-corned beef. You might need to special-order the brisket from your butcher, and you'll have to start brining the meat eight days before you cook and serve it. The Insta Cure No. 1 is optional, but it's nice to use because it gives the meat its traditional pink color. Save the leftover corned beef and vegetables for the sandwiches and hash.

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

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     UK and Ireland     Irish

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.

IRISH CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE

Provided by Gardening Girl

Categories     Meat

Time 3h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -5 lbs corned beef (preferably the top rib, but silverside is good, too)
2 onions, peeled but left whole
6 cloves
2 bay leaves
8 black peppercorns
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3 pieces each
4 -6 potatoes, peeled and halved (evenly sized floury about 4oz each)
1 medium green cabbage
salt & freshly ground black pepper
hot mustard, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the beef under cold water to remove the brine and put it into a large but snugly fitting pan that is also large enough to hold all the vegetables.
  • Stud the onions with the cloves and add them to the pan with the bay leaves, peppercorns and enough water to cover.
  • Bring to the boil over a high heat, skimming off any scum as it rises to the surface. Then reduce the heat, cover and leave to simmer for 2-2½ hours, until the beef is tender, skimming the surface and topping up the water now and then if necessary.
  • Add the carrots and bring back to the boil.
  • Then add the potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wash the cabbage, cut it into 6 or 8 wedges and remove the thickest part of the core, but leave a little to help hold the leaves together.
  • Add to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, by which time all the vegetables should be tender.
  • Lift the beef on to a carving board and carve the meat across the grain into slices. Arrange the beef and vegetables on a large, warmed serving platter and moisten with a little of the stock.
  • Serve with some hot mustard, if you wish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the traditional cut used for corned beef, but you can also use chuck roast or rump roast.
  • Brine the beef properly: The brine is what gives corned beef its distinctive flavor. Be sure to use a brine that contains salt, sugar, and spices.
  • Cook the beef slowly: Corned beef is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly over low heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked corned beef will be tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve corned beef with traditional sides: Corned beef is traditionally served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.

Conclusion:

Corned beef and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other special occasion. With its tender, flavorful meat and hearty vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give corned beef and cabbage a try.
