Description
A classic dish that combines tender corned beef with vibrant cabbage for a comforting meal, perfect for special occasions or everyday cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds of corned beef brisket
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 6 to 8 small potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 small head of green cabbage, cut into wedges
- 4 cups of beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 tablespoons of dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
- 2 to 3 bay leaves
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the corned beef under cool water to remove excess salt. Place the brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven, then pour in the beef broth and enough water to cover the meat completely.
- Add the quartered onion, minced garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and dry mustard to the pot. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
- Allow the meat to simmer gently for about 120 to 180 minutes until it’s tender. If using a pressure cooker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve tenderness in about 60 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the brisket reaches that perfect tender state, remove it from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board, covering it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
- While the meat is resting, add the carrots and potatoes to the broth and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until they’re fork-tender. Then, stir in the cabbage wedges and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still vibrant.
- Slice the corned beef against the grain into thin pieces. Plate the vegetables and top them with slices of corned beef. Drizzle a little of the cooking liquid over the top for added flavor.
Notes
Serve with whole grain mustard for dipping and fresh bread. Can easily be made in advance and reheated.
