🥘 Corned Beef and Cabbage (Dutch Oven Recipe)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 (3–4 lb) corned beef brisket, with seasoning packet

• 10–12 cups water (or enough to cover the meat)

• 1 (12 oz) bottle beer (optional, but adds depth — lager or stout works best)

• 1 large onion, quartered

• 3 cloves garlic, smashed

• 2–3 bay leaves

• 8–10 whole peppercorns

• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

• 6 small red or gold potatoes, halved

• 1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges

• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for serving)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Corned Beef

1. Remove the corned beef from its packaging and rinse it under cold water to remove excess salt.

2. Place it fat side up in a large Dutch oven.

3. Sprinkle in the seasoning packet, then add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.

2. Add Liquid

• Pour in enough water (and beer if using) to completely cover the brisket — about 10–12 cups total.

• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer.

• Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

---

3. Simmer the Beef

• Cover the Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.

• Simmer gently for 2½ to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender when pierced with a fork.

  💡 Slow simmering (not boiling) is key to tender corned beef.

4. Add the Vegetables

1. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot.

2. Simmer for another 25 minutes, until just fork-tender.

3. Add the cabbage wedges on top and cook for 15–20 minutes more, until cabbage is tender but not falling apart.

---

5. Rest and Serve

1. Carefully remove the corned beef and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

2. Slice across the grain into thin pieces.

3. Arrange the beef and vegetables on a platter and drizzle with a bit of the cooking broth for moisture and flavor.

4. Optionally, brush the beef with butter for a glossy finish and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with mustard, horseradish sauce, or buttered rye bread.
