Here's a great REC: Corned Beef & Cabbage >>>>>>
a bit late for St Paddy's Day, but so good, you may want to try it now.
The original post was () and then it was reposted by Charlie. I've done it twice & it's
deliciously different, and, I agree to use the point half of the corned beef. It is always more marbled & juicier.
Charlie's note:
The only change I'd make is---I never
use "Lean" corned beef. First Cut is never
as juicy and flavorful as whole untrimmed
corned beef. When it is tender,trim off the
excess fat and continue with the
recipe.
CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
6 pounds lean corned beef
brisket -- (6 to 7)
2 pounds onions
3 pounds carrots
1 cup malt vinegar
1 cup Guinness Stout
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1/2 tablespoon dill seed
1/2 tablespoon whole allspice
3 bay leaves
4 pounds cabbage -- rinsed
3 pounds small red potatoes
1/4 cup mixed fruit jelly
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup coarse grain mustard
2 tablespoons fresh ground
horseradish
You will need a 14 to 20 quart stock pot
with a tight fitting cover.
Coarsely chop enough carrots and onions to
make 1 cup each and add to the bottom of the
pan. Place the corned beef in the pot with
with any liquid from the package, the
vinegar, Stout and all of the spices. Add
enough water to barely cover the beef and
bring to a rolling boil. Cover pot, reduce
heat and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until
meat is tender when pierced with a fork. Cut
the remaining onions into wedges. Cut the
remaining carrots into 3 inch lengths;halve
them lengthwise if large. Cut cabbages in
half through the core and then into wedges.
Scrub potatoes. Add the onions, carrots and
potatoes to the pot with the tender corned
beef, arrange cabbage wedges on top, cover
and continue to simmer until vegetables and
cabbage are tender when pierced, 20 to 30
minutes. In a small bowl, combine the brown
sugar, jelly, mustard and horseradish and
mix well. With a slotted spoon remove
vegetables to warm serving dishes, cover and
keep warm. Using tongs and a slotted spoon,
remove beef to a shallow baking pan and
cover with brown sugar mixture. Place in a
pre-heated 375 degree oven to glaze, about
15 minutes.
Remove glazed meat to a cutting board, slice
across the grain and place on warm serving
platters.
