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.

This recipe has been handed down in my family for several generations. The sauce is incredible; so smooth and tasty. Adding even a tiny amount of horseradish makes it even better. If you already have a favorite corned beef recipe, you could still make the sauce to serve with your recipe. The sauce is silky-smooth, absolutely delicious, and makes the whole meal! Serve horseradish on the side, if desired.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds corned beef brisket, or more to taste
water to cover
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into 6 wedges
12 small red potatoes, halved
1 pound small white onions, peeled
6 large carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Place corned beef in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot and pour in enough water to cover beef by 2 inches. Bring water to a boil, skimming the liquid occasionally to remove fat from top. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer for 2 hours.
  • Arrange cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots around beef and return liquid to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer beef to a serving platter, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Surround meat with the vegetables.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until dissolved and bubbling, about 1 minute. Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar to butter-flour mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk sour cream and mustard into sauce. Serve sauce alongside corned beef and vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the traditional cut used for corned beef, but you can also use chuck roast or top round.
  • Corn the beef properly: The corning process helps to flavor and tenderize the beef. Make sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
  • Cook the beef slowly: Corned beef is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and gently. Simmering the beef in water or broth is the best way to achieve this.
  • Add vegetables to the pot: Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions can be added to the pot with the corned beef. This will help to flavor the broth and make a complete meal.
  • Serve with traditional sides: Corned beef is traditionally served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and horseradish sauce. These sides help to balance out the richness of the beef.

Conclusion:

Corned beef is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make corned beef at home. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give corned beef a try. You won't be disappointed.
