Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe

I cover my corned beef with beer usually a 5 pack and one for the cook! Follow any of the recipes that call for water and substitute the beer WONDERFUL!!!!!!

this is my first time making corned beef and cabbage, and my fiance and i thought it was terrfic, the meat was very tender and juicy while the vegetables was absolutley superb & tasty. The corned beef was 3.75 lbs that came along with the spice packet, instead of water i used beef broth, added 6 large cloves of garlic, 1 large white onion cut up into wedges, 2 bay leaves, 12 whole peppercorns, 10 small red potatoes/carrots, 3 tbls of butter to bring out the richness of taste ... all in a crockpot -- it took me 8 hours to cook this dinner and it was worth every minute of it.

Absolutely delicious. I started out by cooking this on the stove top as the recipe states (for about 45 minutes) but due to a family emergency, I had to leave the house. Before leaving, I put the meat and liquid into my crock pot. By the time I got home, the meat was perfectly cooked (45 minutes on stove, then 7 hours in crock pot for an almost 3 lb. roast). I took the advice of some other reviewers and added 1/2 stick of butter to the liquid as the meat cooked and I also used beef broth instead of water. The next day on the stovetop I cooked the cabbage, carrots and potatoes in the liquid the meat cooked in the night before. When the vegetalbes were done, I added the meat back into the liquid just to warm it. It was SOOOOOO good!! I will definitely make this again!!

This will be the fouth time using this recipe and it is simple and yummy. The minor changes I do is cut up the potatoes and use small carrots that I don't have to cut or peel. I don't understand why the most helpful review on here does not follow this recipe at ALL! Please post your own recipe and let people review it. I find it NOT helpful to me when reading reviews. If you add Beef broth, brown sugar, mushrooms, onions, even beer. I can understand one or two changes but all that is something different then Corned beef and cabbage.

I cook the cabbage at the end. Cut it in wedges and cooked seperately from the meat. I use 1/2 cooking liquid from the meat and 1/2 chicken broth with butter added to the liquid. Cooked until just crisp tender. Gives the cabbage a lovely flavor, it stays green and doesn't get all mushy.

Fantastic! I have always kind of "winged" it with corned beef and cabbage, with varying degrees of success. I read many of the reviews and added a bottle of beer to the water to simmer the meat in. WOW! This is it! From now on, no more winging it! For spices, I used the packet seasonings, some minced garlic. Added unpeeled red potatoes, onion slices, baby carrots and of course cabbage wedges.

Jeepers, it needs onions! Everything except desserts needs onions!

Straightforward recipe that turned out a tasty boiled dinner. The only thing I'd do differently next time is skim the top once it boils the first time and then add the spices.

I've been doing it this way for over 30 years. In the last half hour I'll pull the brisket from the pot, put it in a roaster and cover it with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and place covered in the oven with just a small amt of juice in the bottom. The brown sugar will melt and create a wonderful glaze for the corned beef. While the beef is in the oven I'll use the liquid in the pot for the veges and then I'll also add a layer of dumplings to the top after the veges begin to boil. Luv it so much that I do it more than just Patty's Day

What do I do if I live where seasonings don’t come with the meat? What seasonings should I use?

Amazing Irish Meal,Feeds my Irish soul!! You can add dumplings,to make it another meal! I agree with adding onion! 🥂 💚 I also used any tators I have on hand.

Followed to the T, no salt, no pepper, exactly as above! Awesome!

Easy recipe that is scalable to larger or smaller sizes of beef. Would suggest you plan on cooking the carrots and potatoes for a good 30 mins BEFORE you add the cabbage

Totally worth it 😍

Bro, I feel unstoppable after eating this.

I made it using the recipe ingredients but I also tweaked it by adding celery, a box of beef broth (since I already have them), apple cider vinegar, 2 bay leaves, 3 smashed garlic cloves, whole red onion cut in wedges, crushed peppercorns, 2 tbs butter. I used the stove top to cook it & it took over 3 -4 hours in medium then to low setting. My family loved it! I’m sure the base recipe is great by itself but I always tweaked recipes according to my liking & what’s available in my pantry & fridge.

I was told this was the best corned beef I had ever made! My potatoes were pretty small so I put them in the water whole. I used baby carrots and put them in the pot about 10 minutes after the potatoes.

Quick, easy, and delicious.

Totally saved dinner tonight, thank you.
