Experience the rich flavors of a traditional Irish dish with this Corned Beef and Cabbage. Simmering together with hearty potatoes and carrots, it creates the ultimate centerpiece for your St. Patrick's Day feast.
First, gather all the required ingredients. This will make your cooking process seamless and stress-free.
Begin by placing the corned beef brisket in a Dutch oven and submerge it with water. Include the spice packet, then cover and bring it to a boil. After reaching boiling point, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours until fork-tender. Midway through cooking, prep your vegetables: slice potatoes in half, peel the carrots, and cut them into 3-inch pieces. Slice the cabbage into smaller wedges.
After the beef has cooked for 2 hours, add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are nearly tender. Finally, add the cabbage and cook for an additional 15 minutes until everything is perfectly tender.
Once cooked, remove the corned beef and let it rest for 15 minutes. Leave the broth and veggies in the pot. Slice the meat thinly across the grain and serve it alongside the vegetables and flavorful broth.
