MY FAVORITE CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



My Favorite Corned Beef and Cabbage image

I found this recipe on another site and it is without doubt my favorite recipe for corned beef and cabbage. The orange just gives the meat a totally different flavor than what I'm used to. My son-in-law who also loves cabbage said this is the best cabbage, bar none, that he has ever tasted. I have also made the corned beef in a crock pot, cooking for 7 to 8 hours on low.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corned beef brisket. Look for a brisket that is 3 to 4 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. The marbling will help to keep the brisket moist during cooking.
  • Prepare the corned beef brisket before cooking. Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat it dry. Then, trim off any excess fat. You can also score the brisket by making shallow cuts across the surface of the meat. This will help the seasonings to penetrate the meat.
  • Use a large pot for cooking the corned beef brisket. The brisket should be completely covered by the cooking liquid. If you don't have a large enough pot, you can cut the brisket in half before cooking.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the cooking liquid. Vegetables such as carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes will add flavor to the corned beef and help to create a delicious broth.
  • Cook the corned beef brisket on low heat. The brisket should be cooked for at least 3 hours, or until it is tender. You can check the tenderness of the brisket by inserting a fork into the meat. If the fork goes in easily, the brisket is done.
  • Serve the corned beef brisket with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for corned beef brisket include cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and horseradish sauce.
