Last night's Corned beef and veggies Rec. modified from Anne in S.F.
was rated the best ever by my guests.
4.3 lb flat cut corned beef
8-9 cloves garlic
left over onion pieces
pepper corns
2 bottles dark beer
cabbage, quartered
carrots, 3 inch pieces
potatoes, quartered lengthwise
onions, whole
parsnips, cut the size of the carrots
butter and olive oil
put the beef on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour beer in the bottom. Toss in the onion , a couple of cloves of garlic. Slice the rest of the garlic and lay it on top of the beef. Sprinkle the spice packet and more pepper corns on top. Seal the pan up really well with tin foil. Bake at 300¡ for 1 hour per pound, but no more than 4 hours - did this one 4 hrs.
gently boil the carrots, potatoes, onions and parsnips for 10 min. Drain, put back in pan, cut onions in half lengthwise, then add butter and oil to coat. Salt and pepper. Put on jelly roll pan.
Put the cabbage pieces on the pan, drizzle with melted butter and oil left in the above pan and add more if needed. Sprinkle with caraway seed and salt and pepper. While corned beef is resting, roast these veggies at 375 for 25-30 min.
My tongue slapped my brain silly it was so tender and very flavorful,
