Happy st. Patricks’ Day everyone. The day won’t be complete without the ever famous Corned Beef and Cabbage in the table. The food is quite easy to prepare though. This meal is part of the tradition basically because first and foremost corned beef and cabbage is definitely Irish. So as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, who is the patron saint of Ireland, the corned beef and cabbage makes its complete.
Here is a simple recipe on how to prepare the dish:
4 lb corned brisket of beef
3 large carrots, cut into large chunks
6 to 8 small onions
1 teaspoon dry English mustard
large sprig fresh thyme and some parsley stalks, tied together
1 cabbage
salt and freshly ground pepper
Put the brisket into a saucepan with the carrots, onions, mustard and the herbs. Cover with cold water, and bring gently to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut in quarters and add to the pot. Cook for a further 1 to 2 hours or until the meat and vegetables are soft and tender.
Serve the corned beef in slices, surrounded by the vegetables and cooking liquid. Serve with lots of floury potatoes and freshly made mustard.

A couple of weeks ago, Illinois Senate Republican candidate Mark Kirk fired up his party loyalists at a private event by casting himself as a champion of his party’s teabagger fringe: “I’m Mark Kirk, and I can’t wait to vote against health care reform next week.” But that was enough: If elected, U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kirk is promising he will “lead the effort” to repeal the health care reform package Democrats are working furiously to pass. The North Shore Republican made the statement at a New Trier GOP Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner last Friday. And beyond exuberance at his obstructionist vote on health care, and eagerness to fight for its repeal, he bragged about how GOP obstructionism was hurting Obama: “We’re on the way to making this guy a one-termer.” Now this might play in Kentucky, or Louisiana, or Alabama. But in Illinois? The problem, of course, wasn’t that Kirk said it at the private event, but that someone got it on tape and leaked it to the press. And ever since…
Heat oil or butter in a large pot….season corned beef with s&p then brown on all sides…add 1 chopped onion,1 bay leaf and enough water to cover.bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer.and let cook 3 hours or until beef is fork tender.
remove beef to a platter.add cabbage cut into 8ths,1/2 inch carrot slices,and quartered potatoes.add more water if needed to cover veggies….return meat to pot and cook 30 mins or until veggies are tender.
Like they said….just add a about 3 Tbsp. of pickling spice.Thats it…never boil..only simmer….that cornbeef.
It tastes good with sweet potatoes cooked in there as well. And about the water thing, it depends on how big of a Corned Beef you’re cooking, you want enough water for it to be completely covered and still have enough water for the veggies so their covered as well. The amount of water doesn’t have to be measured.
goosebumps…….this song fills you with all kind of emotions..it’s unique
amazing
Onions make us cry.
Cutting your brisket in 2 – 5 lb. roasts will be fine. Smoking time should not be affected by much, since you are still smoking 10 lbs.
Looks yummy!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Can’t wait to try it!
It was due to various groups that considered St.George to be their patron that moved around Europe. It was brought over to england during the Norman invasion.
Ma made cabbage rolls and I've decided to give up beef…ugh #FML
Thanks for posting and I’m sure it tastes good… but, like otherwise posted, it’s not southern BBQ brisket. IF you use an oven (which I do sometimes), you need to cook it overnight at 220 degrees. And any sauce wouldn’t go on to VERY late in the process, if at all.
dont know kgs but 20 mins a pound and then 20 mins extra, best done in foil for first hour then remove foil for last half hour
I am definately gonna try that LaBella gel
