Corned beef and cabbage is a classic dish that is often enjoyed on St. Patrick's Day. The dish is made with corned beef brisket, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions. The corned beef is typically brined for several days before it is cooked, which helps to tenderize the meat and give it a distinctive flavor. The cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions are added to the pot with the corned beef and cooked until they are tender. The dish is often served with a side of horseradish sauce or mustard.

Besides the classic corned beef and cabbage recipe, the article also includes recipes for a slow cooker corned beef and cabbage, an Instant Pot corned beef and cabbage, and a corned beef and cabbage soup. The slow cooker and Instant Pot recipes are great options for busy cooks who want to save time. The corned beef and cabbage soup is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day.

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.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 cup kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons whole coriander
1 1/2 tablespoons whole mustard seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 tablespoons whole allspice
4 sprigs fresh marjoram
4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) brisket
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, halved
6 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 head celery including leaves, coarsely chopped
1 head garlic, halved
3 sprigs fresh marjoram
1 small cabbage cut into 6 to 8 wedges
Herbed Root Vegetables, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound new potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound baby carrots, trimmed and scrubbed
1 pound baby turnips, trimmed and scrubbed
1 pound baby parsnips, trimmed and scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs like thyme, mint, chives, parsley, or chervil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the brine ingredients, except the brisket, in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the brisket (you may have to cut it into 2 pieces) and rub the spice mix into the meat. Pour cold water over until the meat is covered. Weight the brisket down with a small plate so that it is completely submerged; cover and refrigerate. The meat can be brined overnight or as long as 10 days. The longer the brining the more pickled the meat.
  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, marjoram, and bay leaves and cook until starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the brine and rinse it well. Set the meat on top of the vegetables and add water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil skimming any foam that surfaces. Reduce the heat to a simmer, place the lid on the pot, and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cabbage pieces, cover, and put it into the oven; cook for 3 hours.
  • Remove the meat, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes. Cut the fat off the corned beef, slice the meat against the grain, and serve it in shallow bowls with the cabbage wedges, some cooking liquid, and the Herbed Root Vegetables.
  • Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.

Categories     Meat

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 corned beef brisket, about 4 lbs
1 corned beef, spice packet
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 medium brown onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves
4 lbs small red potatoes or 4 lbs yellow potatoes
8 large carrots, peeled
1 medium head of cabbage, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grainy mustard, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup reserved corned beef cooking liquid
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the corned beef in a large dutch oven, along with the contents of the spice packet included in the corned beef, brown sugar, bay leaves, onion, and garlic. Fill with enough cold water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the flame, cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the beef is tender.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the onions and garlic (they've done their job and have given all their flavor already).
  • Peel the potatoes, I use red potatoes and peel only the center because I like the look of it, but feel free to peel all of it or don't peel at all. Cut the carrots into large chunks. Place the potatoes and carrots into the pot with the brisket. Return to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat and simmer until fork tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. It depends on how big your potatoes are.
  • Transfer the potatoes and carrots to a platter and keep warm. Add in the sliced cabbage, I like to keep the core in the cabbage so that the sliced wedges stay in tact, making it easier to move later. Bring back up to a boil over high heat. Lower the flame and simmer for 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender as well.
  • Transfer the cabbage to the platter along with the potatoes and carrots and move the brisket to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Arrange the sliced beef along with the vegetables on the platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with grainy mustard and horseradish sauce (recipe follows).
  • To make the sauce, set a medium saucepan over moderate heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds or so. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the liquid that the beef cooked inches Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, horseradish, salt and pepper.
