Corned Beef And Cabbage With No Seasoning Packet Recipes

Steps:

• 1. I prepare this a day or two ahead of time, so it can be put together quickly at serving time.
• 2. Place Brisket and Seasoning Packet in Crock Pot. Cut Brisket in half and stack if using larger Brisket.
• 3. With Crock Pot on high, add the two cans of Beer or Broth. I used beer. Quarter the Cabbage heads and add to pot. (Leave the Cabbage core in so quarters stay intact.) Add water to almost cover Brisket. When contents start to bubble and boil cook cabbage for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Steam will cook the Cabbage.
• 4. Remove Cabbage Quarters and reserve in refrigerator container. Add peeled and quartered potatoes. I used Idahos but small red Potatoes halved with skin on would work well.
• 5. Cook Potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour and remove Potatoes and place in fridge with Cabbage.
• 6. Turn crock Pot to low and cook additional 2 to 5 hours. I cooked an additional 4 hours on low, and enjoyed a couple of beers at the local Pub. (A couple is anywhere from two to six.)
• 7. When Brisket is cooked remove from juice and refrigerate overnight for easy slicing the following day. Reserve Juices for serving later.
• 8. Following morning slice Brisket in neat thin strips to serve, after removing fat covering from one side if present.
• 9. Brisket, Cabbage and Potatoes can be reheated in oven in the juices, or individual servings microwave very well with a little of the juices. Leftover Corned Beef freezes well and is excellent as warm or cold Corned Beef Sandwiches on Rye Bread. Or make a Ruben sandwich with Kraut and Swiss Cheese on Rye or Pumpernickel.
• 10. Provide a little Horseradish to accompany this dish or sandwiches. Enjoy St. Patty's Day.
• 11. Note: The juices would work very well for a soup base. Something as simple as adding a can or two of Northern Beans. also note I added no salt or pepper or additional seasoning. The Brisket is salty enough.
• 12. Note: The Cabbage and Potatoes will overcook if not removed in the process.

Steps:

• 1. In a large crockpot, add carrots and onions. Rinse corned beef and pat dry. Place in crockpot and sprinkle with the seasoning mix. Pour beer overtop and rub mustard on the brisket. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with water and pour over brisket. Cover crock pot and cook on low setting for 8-10 hours.
• 2. Remove corned beef and cover with foil to keep warm. Add cabbage wedges to vegetables and liquid in crockpot. Cover crockpot and cook on high for additional 30 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

• Place brisket, contents of seasoning packet, brown sugar and bay leaves in a large Dutch oven or stockpot; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 2 hours., Add potatoes and carrots; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, just until beef and vegetables are tender, 30-40 minutes. (If pot is full, remove potatoes and carrots before adding cabbage; reheat before serving.), Add cabbage to pot; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables and corned beef; keep warm., For horseradish sauce, strain and reserve 1-1/2 cups cooking juices; skim fat from reserved juices. Discard remaining juices. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 cup reserved juices. Stir in sugar, vinegar and horseradish; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened. If desired, thin with additional juices and season to taste with additional sugar, vinegar or horseradish. , Cut beef across the grain into slices.
