Corned Beef and Cabbage (Irish Boiled Dinner)
A classic Irish-American boiled dinner. Corned beef simmers with carrots, ptoatoes, cabbage and onionjs for a delicious cozy and humble dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds corned beef brisket
- 2 cloves garlic smashed and peeled
- seasoning packet included with the corned beef brisket
- 1½ pounds baby red skinned potatoes halved if large
- 4 large carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion halved and sliced vertically
- 1 small head cabbage cut into wedges with the root intact
Instructions
- Rinse your corned beef well and pat dry with paper towel.
- Place the brisket in a large stock pot with smashed garlic, pickling seasoning and cover with at least 12 cups of water, leaving a few inches at the top of the pot.
- Cover and bring to a near boil. Then reduce to a simmer and cook for 50 minute per pound. ( 4 pound brisket will take approximately 3-1/2 hours)
- I usually check on it 1/3 of the way and add more water and turn the corned beef.
- When 30 minutes are remaining; add potatoes, carrots, onions and cover with the wedges of cabbage.
- The vegetables are done when a fork glides through easily.
- Once the corned beef is cookied, remove and transfer to a carving board. Slice the corned beef against the grain.
- Serve the boiled vegetables with butter, salt and pepper, and I love to dip my corned beef in mustard.
