OMG this is one of my favorite meals. At the cost of corned beef however, I usually only cook it for St. Paddys Day. Enjoy!!

This is the new recipe a friend recommend I try and will update as soon as we have finished eating dinner, and will be serving Guinness Stout with it, and I also put a bottle of that into the recipe too.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner

Horseradish-crusted corned beef pairs with tender cabbage and herbed potatoes for the ideal St. Patrick's Day feast.

1 (4-pound) cured corned beef brisket, trimmed

15 cups water (Plus 1 bottle Guinness Stout Irish beer) or if no beer then 16 cups water

2 cups chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrot

1 1/2 teaspoons pickling spice

3 garlic cloves, peeled

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

1 (2 1/2-pound) head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch strips

4 pounds small red potatoes, quartered

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons butter

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

1 (5-ounce) jar prepared horseradish, drained and squeezed dry

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preparation of Brisket:

Place brisket in a large stockpot; add water and next 5 ingredients (water through garlic). Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours. Remove brisket from pot.

Place brisket on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Strain cooking liquid through a colander into 2 large bowls; discard solids. Return liquid to pot. Add caraway seeds and cabbage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Drain.

While cabbage is cooking, place potatoes in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return potatoes to pan. Stir in parsley, butter, rind, juice, and pepper; toss to coat.

Preheat broiler for horseradish mixture:

Combine breadcrumbs and horseradish. Spread mustard over one side of brisket. Press breadcrumb mixture onto mustard. Broil 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve brisket with cabbage and potatoes.

(I will omit this horseradish mixture above, and just prepare a creamy horseradish sauce we prefer, which I posted below).

Sour Cream Horseradish Sauce Recipe:

Makes 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients:

1/4 to 1/2 cup prepared horseradish (according to your taste)
1 pint (2 cups) sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

In a medium-sized bowl, combine horseradish, sour cream, lemon juice, and salt; thoroughly mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve and can prepare and keep in fridge up to two and one half days.

To serve, pass the horseradish sauce on the side.

The house smells divine now....will update after dinner.

it's one of my favorites, too. I love to eat it on St. Patrick's Day, but I will eat it at any other time, too.

Enjoy your corned beef and cabbage today, Adore.

I love it as well. I try and stock up after St. Patricks Day when it goes on sale so we can enjoy it more often. I smoke mine out on the grill and use chicken broth and the liquid out of the bag for the cabbage.

I like it best in the pressure cooker...the spices are infused throughout the meat.

Hello to all my QVC pals,

Zhills thers more if you want more!

Mary Bailey I hope your corned beef and cabbage was delicious too.

Northernlights if you need some leftovers give a holler.

Hi terrier3, yes I make it in my digital pressure cooker too when I make smaller quantities.

It was absolutely fabulous.

Tender but still held its shape.

The potatoes were out of this world and the marinade was so tasty.

The cabbage was cooked enough to be delicious and I also made the sour cream horseradish sauce which was really a great touch to a wonderful dish.

I hope you will try this recipe as written or with my own favorite horseradish sauce......either way it is worth the time to make it, because it is really superb tasting.

Plenty more if anyone else is hungry.

I make this often and I use my crock pot. I will share this with you gals though. The ONLY brand I buy is Cook's. They are the same company that make hams.

I just made a corned beef that Wal Mart sells and it was not good at all. DH knew immediately it wasn't Cook's.

It comes with a seasoning pack but my German grandma always threw in peppercorns, and a whole head of garlic - not peeled.

I then made smothered cabbage by frying bacon. When the bacon was cook I removed it and put in cut up cabbage and peppered it, tossed it around for a few minutes or so, then lowered the heat and put a lid on it. After 20 minutes, it was done and I then crumbled the bacon on it. It's way better than plain boiled cabbage.

I make the horseradish sauce with sour cream and I use this when I make prime rib too.

That must be regional, I've never heard of it. Walmart, Costco and Sams all sell the same brand here. I've never had anyone turn it down.

Hint:

I use my own seasonings and place them in a very fine tea strainer, close the lid well, and let the tea strainer hang into the pot with the other end hooked on to the pot rim.

This way no one is pickling those loose spices out of their food, or biting into them.

If I received a bad piece of food I would go to the hospital as soon as I became ill, and have them report what I ate to the Health Department, to see if it becomes a recall bad food issue.

Well I don't use my own spices but I have a large tea ball for the same purpose.

Hi Debc,

Either fresh or packaged corned beef spices are fine, but since I purchase my spices by the pound I tend to use them instead and I always use the tea strainer to place them in.

Pickling spice used in recipes, as well as in Corned Beef recipes consists of Cinnamon, Allspice, Mustard Seed, Coriander, Bay Leaves, Ginger, Chilies, Cloves, Black Pepper, Mace, Cardamom, and to that I always add some garlic powder.
