Corned Beef and Cabbage Demystified
So many
people pass on corned beef because they remember it from childhood- a tough,
chewy piece of meat accompanied with cabbage. It was a meal
that was endured rather than enjoyed. Our Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe
changes everything. We tested this recipe until we got the results we
desired, a tender, savory treat. Our secret ingredient is patience. Begin
this early in the day. Serve with our
Irish Soda Bread. |

Corned Beef And Cabbage
Recipe
1 corned beef -
(a flat cut is lean, a point
cut, though harder to find, is fattier and has more flavor, we often cook
both)
1 head of cabbage, quartered
4-5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
5 potatoes, peeled and halved
Remove the corned beef from its package and
rinse under cold water. Place in a stock pot and add enough cold water
to cover the meat. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and
drain the water. Again, add enough cold water to cover the meat and
bring it back to a boil. Let it boil for a few minutes, then reduce the
heat to a very slight simmer. You can add the spice packet, included
with the corned beef package, if you prefer more flavor. Place a lid on
the pot and make sure the simmer does not turn into a boil. Let it cook
for 2-3 hours. However, not all corned beefs are the same. The true test
of doneness is to take the meat out, place it on your cutting board. If
it feels tender, sample a slice (always cut against the grain of the
meat). If it's still chewy, put it back in the pot and check an hour
later. This is the point where some cooks, under the pressure of getting
dinner on the table exactly at 6:00 pm, will turn up the flame. Be
patient. Corned beef is not a soufflé, it will wait for you, so
use its forgiving composition to your advantage. When you feel the meat
is ready, remove it to your cutting board. Add the vegetables to
the pot and boil until soft. Allow the meat to cool for at least 5
minutes before slicing. |
About our St. Patrick's Day Aprons -
When I'm not sewing, I'm cooking - and I'm a serious, messy cook! I've
designed our aprons not only to look good (with 100% cotton fronts) but also
to protect the cook, painter, gardener, crafter or anyone  else looking for a
comfortable, useful apron. Unlike many of our competitors, I back our 100% cotton fronts
with a poly-cotton twill (except our terrycloth and
ticking aprons)
and finish each one with a sturdy top stitch to maintain shape. A
little extra work on my part makes for an apron you'll reach for time after
time and one you'll be proud to give as a gift. All have a handy front
pocket and adjustable D-ring neck strap-no knots digging into the back of your
neck! Our adult aprons are generously sized measuring approximately 34"
long and 29" wide. Our children's aprons are
miniature versions of our adult aprons right down to the last detail.
They measure approximately 19 ½" long and 15½" wide.
