CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Corned Beef and Cabbage image

Tender corned beef and tangy cabbage is a feast for the senses and a great way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Serve with a grainy mustard, potatoes, or both.

Categories     St. Patrick's Day     dinner     main dish     meat     roasted

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package corned beef brisket (3 to 4 pounds)
3 tbsp. ground black pepper
1 c. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. sugar (optional)
1 head green cabbage (or 2 if you'd like more)
Olive oil, for searing
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 bottle Guinness, or any beer

Steps:

  • For the corned beef: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Unwrap the brisket and place it fat side up inside a baking dish. If it came with a spice packet, sprinkle it over the top, then sprinkle on the black pepper and rub it in. Cover the dish with heavy aluminum foil and place it in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, then uncover and continue baking for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Check the brisket by inserting a fork in the meat. If it goes in easily, it's ready; if it meets with resistance, bake for another 30 minutes- or up to an hour in some cases! If the brisket is tough, it hasn't cooked long enough! Once the brisket is fork-tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest, covered loosely in foil.
  • While the brisket is resting, make the balsamic reduction: Combine the balsamic and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir it together and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer until the mixture is thick and reduced by half. Set it aside.
  • Next, make the cabbage: Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the cabbage. Sear it on both sides until the cabbage gets as much color as possible, about 1 minute per side. Use a spatula to transfer the cabbage to a rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the cabbage pieces with salt and pepper. Pour the Guinness into the bottom of the baking sheet, then carefully transfer the pan to the oven. (The beer will gently steam the cabbage and infuse it with stouty essence). Bake the cabbage for 20 minutes, or until tender and deeper brown.
  • To serve: Slice or shred the rested beef on a cutting board (it should be very, very tender and almost falling apart). Then place it on a large platter alongside the cabbage wedges. Drizzle generous spoonfuls of the balsamic reduction all over the cabbage slices.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3- to 4-pound package corned beef brisket
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 head green cabbage
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
12-ounce bottle Guinness or other stout

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Unwrap the brisket and place it fat-side up in a large baking dish. If the brisket came with a spice packet, sprinkle it over the top, then sprinkle on 3 tablespoons pepper and rub it in. Cover the dish with heavy-duty foil and bake for two and a half hours, then uncover and continue baking until the brisket is very, very tender (almost falling apart!) and a fork inserted into the meat goes in easily, about 1 more hour. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • While the brisket is resting, make the balsamic reduction for the cabbage: Stir the balsamic vinegar with the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds and thick like syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
  • Make the cabbage: Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges. Working in two batches if necessary, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and sear on both cut sides until the cabbage gets as much color as possible, about 1 minute per side. Use a spatula to transfer the cabbage to a rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the Guinness into the bottom of the pan, then carefully transfer to the oven. Bake the cabbage until tender and deep brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Slice the corned beef and place it on a platter with the cabbage. Spoon the balsamic reduction all over the cabbage.

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 pounds corned beef
5 garlic cloves, lightly smashed
10 peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
12 ounces stout (recommended: Guinness)
1 cup beef broth or stock
Water, for simmering
4 yellow onions, cut into wedges, plus 1 medium yellow or sweet onion, sliced
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into large chunks
3 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
6 medium red potatoes, scrubbed
1 medium head green cabbage, cut into quarters, core removed
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Rinse the corned beef and put it into a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot. Make a bouquet garni with the garlic, peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves and add to the pot. Stir in the stout, stock and enough water to cover the beef by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 4 hours, covered, stirring occasionally.
  • After 4 hours, add the onion wedges, parsnips, and carrots, and cook for a 1/2 hour.

  • Meanwhile, slice the cabbage thinly, gently pressing with a paper towel to remove excess water. Add the cabbage to the onion mixture and toss to coat well with the butter. Cook over medium heat until the cabbage begins to brown.
  • Remove the meat to a cutting board and slice. Serve at the table with all the vegetables piled onto a serving tray and the sliced meat onto another tray with some of the broth poured over the meat.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Corned Beef and Cabbage image

Provided by James Beard

Categories     Onion     Brisket     Carrot     Winter     Cabbage     House & Garden

Yield Serves 6, with meat left over for additional meals

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds corned brisket of beef
6 peppercorns, or packaged pickling spices
3 carrots, peeled and quartered
3 onions, peeled and quartered
1 medium-sized green cabbage, quartered or cut in wedges
Melted butter (about 4 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Place the corned beef in water to cover with the peppercorns or mixed pickling spices (in supermarkets, these often come packaged with the corned beef). Cover the pot or kettle, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 hours or until tender, skimming occasionally. During the last hour, add the carrots and onions and cover again. During the last 15 minutes, add the cabbage. Transfer meat and vegetables to a platter and brush the vegetables with the melted butter. Serve with boiled parsley potatoes, cooked separately. (The stock can be saved to add to a pot roast or stew instead of other liquid.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of corned beef: Look for a brisket flat or a point cut, which are both well-marbled and have a good amount of fat.
  • Soak the corned beef overnight: This helps to remove some of the salt and makes the meat more tender.
  • Cook the corned beef in a large pot: You'll need plenty of room for the meat, the vegetables, and the cooking liquid.
  • Bring the corned beef to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer: This will help to keep the meat tender and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add the vegetables during the last hour of cooking: This will help to keep them from getting overcooked.
  • Serve the corned beef and cabbage immediately: Or, you can let it cool and then reheat it later.

Conclusion:

Corned beef and cabbage is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for a crowd. It's easy to make, and the leftovers are delicious. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
