Corned Beef and Cabbage Boiled Irish Dinner
Servings – 8
Prep Time – 20 Minutes
Cook Time – 2 Hours and 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
12 small red potatoes
6 medium carrots
1 large head cabbage
1 12oz bottle of Irish stout beer (Guinness)
water, to cover beef
horseradish and or mustard, optional
Directions:
Gather all ingredients.
Place corned beef in a Dutch oven and pour in beer. Add enough water to cover beef.
Add spice packet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until corned beef is just about fork-tender, about 2 hours.
While the corned beef is simmering, cut potatoes in half. Peel carrots and cut into 3-inch pieces. Cut cabbage into small wedges.
When corned beef has cooked for 2 hours, add potatoes and carrots; cook until vegetables are almost tender and meat is fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until tender, about 15 more minutes.
Remove meat and let rest for 15 minutes. Leave broth and vegetables in the Dutch oven. Slice meat across the grain.
Serve with rye bread or soda bread, and horseradish or mustard for dipping sauces.
Notes:
Total cook time for corned beef to be fork-tender should be between 45 and 50 minutes per pound. Please adjust if your corned beef is larger or smaller than 3 pounds.
