Corned Beef and Cabbage with no seasoning packet

Corned Beef and Cabbage with no seasoning packet

I buy lots of meats at the whole sale house and for whatever reason the corned beef comes with no seasoning packet. Most of my questions about the seasonings said to use pickling spice? I make my own pickling spice and it has corriander, ginger, cloves, and cardomom in it, fine for pickles but for our tastes, not for corned beef and cabbage. I came up with this combo, and it turned out really good.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pound corned beef

    s

  • 2 large onions

    quartered

  • 6 to 8 medium carrots
  • 1 small cabbage

    quartered, leave core in

  • 14.9 ounce guinnes beer

    s

  • - water to almost cover the beef
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns

    s

  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

    s

  • 2 tablespoon vinegar

    s

  • 2 medium bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

    s

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

    s

  • - salt and pepper to taste

    use your judgement on this one

  • - potatoes if desired

    using whole baby potatoes works well here.

Directions

  1. 1

    Using a disposable liner in your slow cooker will make cleanup easier, not necessary, but Ii hate cleanups.

  2. 2

    Put your carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker, and then the beef on top.

  3. 3

    Tuck the onions in around the sides.

  4. 4

    Pour the beer over all, then enough water to almost cover the beef.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the seasonings over all.
    Reserve the potatoes and carrots for later.

  6. 6

    Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. The last 1 1/2 hours add the potatoes and cabbage, this makes them so they are not overcooked.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

The addition of potatoes and carrots makes this corned beef and cabbage recipe not only great on St. Patrick’s Day but a satisfying meal any day. Cure beef brisket in a salty, spiced brine and it becomes savory, tangy and aromatic corned beef. Get a corned beef made from flat-cut brisket, if you can, as it will be easier to slice into neat, uniform slabs. (The point cut has more striations of fat and may fall apart when sliced.) Braise the meat until tender, and add the vegetables toward the end of the braising time so they’ll absorb the beef juices and soften until perfectly crisp-tender. Finish the beef with a simple honey-mustard glaze and a quick broil to caramelize, then serve it with more Dijon mustard and beer. (Here are slow cooker and pressure cooker versions of the recipe.)
