I've Never Made Corned Beef & Cabbage . . .

[DisneyBaby!]

MomsGoofy,
just promise us you will use a good beer. Nothing light and fruity like a wheat beer, but a good porter/stout will go well.

I've tried several of these methods, but stumbled across this recipe a couple of years ago, and it was so wonderful! Even my pickiest eaters had 3 or 4 helpings. I got this off the Kraft website.

Corned Beef Brisket with Cabbage

3 pound corned been brisket
1/2 C. Chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 medium head cabbage, cored, cut into wedges
1 C. maple syrup
1/2 C. mustard
1 Tbs. Horseradish

Place meat in a large saucepan with onion, garlic and bay leaves. Add water just to cover. Cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 1 hour. Drain. Cover with fresh water. Cover; simmer 2 or 3 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat from pan, reserving liquid in pan. Add cabbage to reserved liquid in pan and cook until tender. Meanwhile, mix syrup, mustard and horseradish. Place meat in shallow baking pan; spoon
1/2 of the syrup mixture over the meat. Reserve remaining syrup mixture for serving with meat. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until meat is well glazed, brushing frequently with remaining syrp mixture. Heat pan drippings, pour over meat. Serve with cabbage.

We love this and have it quite frequently.

Just a heads up....I made my corned beef yesterday in a crockpot with a little beer and water. I adde potatoes, carrots and onion with 2 hours to go and it turned out great! Thank you everyone for the ideas! We're having Reubens for dinner tonight with the leftovers.

I have converted many a person to the Corned Beef Cabbage Club with this recipe:

Glazed Corned Beef

3 pounds corned beef (we prefer the flat cut)
1 clove garlic
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons prepared mustard (we prefer Gulden's)

Place corned beef in a dutch oven and cover with cold water. *Add garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns (if your corned beef comes with a spice packet, add it here). *Cover and bring to boil over medium/medium high heat. *Reduce heat and simmer for three hours or until tender. *

Remove beef from liquid and refrigerate it while preparing the rest.

To the liquid remaining the dutch oven, add 4-5 cubed unpeeled medium-sized potatoes, 1 small head cabbage cut into wedges, 1 pound baby carrots, and 1 large chopped white onion. *Add more water if needed. *Bring to a boil and then simmer slowly until vegetables *are tender.

When vegetables are getting soft, remove beef from fridge. *Using a knife, remove most of the fat layer on the outside of the meat. *Score the remaining fat in a diamond pattern.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Prepare the glaze by combining the apple juice, brown sugar and mustard in a small saucepan. *Stir over low heat until well blended and slightly thickened.

Place beef fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan. *Pour glaze evenly over the fat side of the beef. *Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with drippings.

Remove beef from oven and let rest 10-15 minutes. *Slice thinly. *Serve with cabbage/potato/carrot mixture and beer.

and I need help . . .

I have no idea how to make it? I know it needs to be boiled, but what ingredients besides corned beef, cabbage and carrots go into it and what is the difference between a flat cut and a point cut corned beef?

Anybody who can help, thanks!

Excellent in the crockpot or pressure cooker!

MomsGoofy,

Well, I was thinking a Guinness....would that work?

 

[CookieGVB]

Guinness would be the perfect choice.

We made it tonight. CB in the crock pot. Potatos in one pot, (mashed) Cabbage, carrots and onions in another. (boiled)

The corn beef was great. The mashed potaos were too. The cabbage, well it was cabbage. I forgot, I like it better raw in colesalw. DH thought it was good.
