Make this traditional corned beef and cabbage as a satisfying, one-pot winter meal. You will cook the brisket until it is very tender and then add vegetables to the flavorful broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 lb) corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 lb small red potatoes, halved
  • 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
  • Water, enough to cover the meat

Instructions

  1. Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the spice packet contents and the onion quarters.
  2. Add enough cold water to cover the brisket by at least one inch.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Check occasionally to keep the meat submerged; add a little water if needed.
  4. About 45 minutes before the meat is done, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot.
  5. Add the cabbage wedges on top of the meat and vegetables. Cover the pot again and continue to simmer until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 20 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook the cabbage.
  6. Carefully remove the corned beef to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  7. Serve the sliced meat with the cooked vegetables and a ladle of the cooking broth. This recipe is a great alternative to using meal planning services for a hearty dinner.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of whole black peppercorns to the cooking liquid.
  • Serve this boiled dinner recipe with strong mustard or prepared horseradish.
  • If you are looking for faster results, consider using a sous-vide precision cooker for the meat before finishing it in the broth with the vegetables.
