Description

Enjoy a classic comfort dish with this simple corned beef and cabbage recipe, perfect for family meals and holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb corned beef brisket
  • 1 large head of cabbage, cored and quartered
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket and place it in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Add beef broth, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf to the pot. Ensure the brisket is covered with liquid; add water if needed.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender.
  4. Add carrots, potatoes, and onion to the pot. Cook for 30 minutes.
  5. Add cabbage to the pot. Cook for another 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
  6. Remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  7. Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables and a spoonful of broth.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the pot during the last hour of cooking.
  • If you prefer a softer cabbage, cook it for a longer time.
  • Serve with horseradish sauce or mustard for added zest.
