CHEF JOHN'S CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Combine corned beef and spice packet contents, water, onion, carrots, celery, and salt together in a large pot or Dutch oven; bring to a simmer, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
• Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is almost fork-tender, about 3 hours. Add potatoes and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are almost tender, about 30 minutes more.
• Place cabbage pieces on top of and around meat, cover the pot, and simmer until cabbage is tender, 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Remove meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Cut across the grain and serve in a bowl; ladle vegetables and broth over the top.

THE ULTIMATE CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the corned beef in a large dutch oven, along with the contents of the spice packet included in the corned beef, brown sugar, bay leaves, onion, and garlic. Fill with enough cold water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the flame, cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the beef is tender.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the onions and garlic (they've done their job and have given all their flavor already).
• Peel the potatoes, I use red potatoes and peel only the center because I like the look of it, but feel free to peel all of it or don't peel at all. Cut the carrots into large chunks. Place the potatoes and carrots into the pot with the brisket. Return to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat and simmer until fork tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. It depends on how big your potatoes are.
• Transfer the potatoes and carrots to a platter and keep warm. Add in the sliced cabbage, I like to keep the core in the cabbage so that the sliced wedges stay in tact, making it easier to move later. Bring back up to a boil over high heat. Lower the flame and simmer for 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender as well.
• Transfer the cabbage to the platter along with the potatoes and carrots and move the brisket to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Arrange the sliced beef along with the vegetables on the platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with grainy mustard and horseradish sauce (recipe follows).
• To make the sauce, set a medium saucepan over moderate heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds or so. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the liquid that the beef cooked inches Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, horseradish, salt and pepper.

CORNED BEEF EGG ROLL

Steps:

• Stir together coleslaw, 3 tablespoons water, salt, and pepper in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until lightly steamed, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Shred corned beef with hands or kitchen scissors, and add to coleslaw mixture along with Swiss cheese. Stir until evenly combined.
• Fill a small bowl with remaining 1/3 cup water. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface, and top each with about 1/3 cup of corned beef filling. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and wet edges of wrappers; tightly wrap, roll, and seal. Repeat this process with remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
• Heat oil over medium-high in a deep fryer or large Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in oil registers 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Working in batches, fry egg rolls until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, turning if necessary to ensure even browning. Let drain and cool on paper towel-lined plate or sheet tray, about 10 minutes.
• While egg rolls cool, prepare dipping sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, lemon juice, paprika, and salt together in a bowl. Place cooled egg rolls on a plate and serve with sauce.
