ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Ultimate Corned Beef and Cabbage image

This recipe comes from Good Eats with Alton Brown, slightly modified. An essential St. Patty's Day meal, it might take a while but your patience will be rewarded with some great corned beef any New Yorker would be proud of. And really the fridge does most of the work. If you can't find saltpeter, you can go without. It'll still taste good, it just won't have that classic pink corned beef color. You may also substitute one tablespoon dry gin for the juniper berries if you can't find them in your area. If I have any leftovers there's nothing better than corned beef hash from breakfast the next morning.

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Time P10DT20h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 qt water
2 cups kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pink curing salt
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 fresh ginger, 2 in (5 cm) sliced
1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
3 bay leaves, crumbled
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorn
8 whole allspice berries
12 juniper berries
8 whole cloves
2 lb ice
5 lb beef brisket, good-quality, trimmed
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
ginger beer, 2 bottles
dark extra-stout beer, 2 bottles
1 ½ lb small red potato
9 carrots, halved crosswise
1 medium green cabbage, quartered
5 lb corned beef brisket, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a very large pot, combine the water, kosher salt, brown sugar, pink curing salt, garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, mustard seeds, peppercorns, allspice berries, juniper berries, and cloves. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the brine is boiling, remove from the heat and add the ice to bring the temperature below 45˚F (7˚C).
  • Place the brisket in a large plastic storage container with a lid. Pour the cooled brine over the meat. Cover and brine the beef in the refrigerator for 5-7 days, flipping once a day.
  • Once the brisket is brined, remove the beef from the liquid and transfer to a pot large enough for it to sit flat on the bottom. Add the onion, celery, carrot, ginger beer, and beer. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer for 2½-3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Remove the meat from the pot and let cool. If making corned beef and cabbage, reserve the cooking liquid. Otherwise, discard.
  • Thinly slice the brisket against the grain for sandwiches or corned beef and cabbage, or dice for corned beef hash.
  • Return the corned beef cooking liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. (If starting with new cooking liquid, combine the chicken broth, water, chopped carrots, celery, and onion in a large pot and bring to a boil.)
  • Once the cooking liquid is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, until half-cooked. Add the halved carrots and cabbage, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with the sliced brisket and ladle the cooking liquid over.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right corned beef. Look for a brisket that is about 3-4 pounds and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Brine the corned beef for at least 2 days. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a large pot. You'll need a pot that is big enough to hold the corned beef, the cabbage, and all of the other ingredients.
  • Cover the pot with a lid. This will help to keep the heat in and the corned beef moist.
  • Simmer the corned beef for at least 3 hours. The meat should be fall-apart tender.
  • Add the cabbage and potatoes during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the corned beef and cabbage with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, carrots, and horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Corned beef and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day celebration. It's a hearty and flavorful meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So gather your ingredients and get started today!
