QUICK "CORNED" BEEF & CABBAGE



Quick

Traditional corned beef & cabbage sure is tasty, but it's typically loaded with preservatives and sodium. In this healthy recipe makeover, we slash more than 2,300 mg of sodium with our quicker twist on the St. Patrick's Day classic. To get great flavor without the additives found in store-bought corned beef, we rub ground pickling spice onto steak instead.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons pickling spice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
½ small cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
8 small carrots, trimmed
2 cups halved baby potatoes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons malt vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 pound skirt steak, trimmed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Grind pickling spice in a clean spice grinder (or coffee grinder); transfer to a small bowl and combine with dry mustard, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss cabbage, carrots and potatoes in a large bowl with half the spice mixture and 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, dill, mustard and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Set the vinaigrette aside.
  • About 10 minutes before the vegetables are done, cut steak in half crosswise (if it's one long piece) and rub with the remaining spice mixture. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest on a clean cutting board for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
  • Drizzle the roasted vegetables with the vinaigrette and serve with the steak.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3- to 4-pound package corned beef brisket
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 head green cabbage
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
12-ounce bottle Guinness or other stout

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Unwrap the brisket and place it fat-side up in a large baking dish. If the brisket came with a spice packet, sprinkle it over the top, then sprinkle on 3 tablespoons pepper and rub it in. Cover the dish with heavy-duty foil and bake for two and a half hours, then uncover and continue baking until the brisket is very, very tender (almost falling apart!) and a fork inserted into the meat goes in easily, about 1 more hour. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • While the brisket is resting, make the balsamic reduction for the cabbage: Stir the balsamic vinegar with the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds and thick like syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
  • Make the cabbage: Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges. Working in two batches if necessary, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and sear on both cut sides until the cabbage gets as much color as possible, about 1 minute per side. Use a spatula to transfer the cabbage to a rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the Guinness into the bottom of the pan, then carefully transfer to the oven. Bake the cabbage until tender and deep brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Slice the corned beef and place it on a platter with the cabbage. Spoon the balsamic reduction all over the cabbage.

STEAMED CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE RECIPE



Steamed corned beef and cabbage Recipe image

If you make corned beef every year for St. Patrick's Day, chances are good that you boil it with the spices that often come with the meat. But there's more than one way to cook corned beef.Steaming works especially well with a fatty cut of meat like corned beef because the steam actually melts the fat, so some of it drips off during steaming.We put a corned beef brisket in a steamer basket lined with cabbage leaves. We did not use the spice packet that came with the corned beef, or any seasonings in fact; only the cabbage. Our 3 1/2-pound brisket took about three hours to cook tender, but it came out full of flavor.When we trimmed the fat off the top and sliced it, it felt firm but was tender and juicy. It did not fall apart and lacked the stringiness common in boiled beef.Cabbage wedges and small whole carrots were added in a steamer basket above the corned beef during the last 30 minutes of cooking, so their juices would drip down on the meat. The cabbage had an amazing flavor, sweet and almost delicate. A few of us tried the cabbage that had lined the steaming basket; it was very limp but had acquired a wonderful flavor from the corned beef juices.

HAWAIIAN CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE



Hawaiian Corned Beef and Cabbage image

I'm not sure if this would actually pass as Asian because I truly believe it is a Local Hawaiian family meal that probably started because canned meats like corned beef and Spam are cheaper than many other protein choices in the stores. This is so easy, especially if you have a wok or large deep fry pan. This has never failed...

Provided by Diana Perry

Categories     Beef

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) corned beef
1 large cabbage
2 large sweet onion (vidalia, maui or whatever choice you have)
2 clove garlic, minced well
shoyu (soy sauce) to taste
serve over steamed rice

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the cabbage in half; remove the hard stem; cut again into quarters; finely shred the cabbage, although some pieces could be larger...it adds to the recipe to have some soft, and some slightly crispy.
  • 2. Heat your wok, or large, deep fry pan over medium high heat; Add the oil.
  • 3. As soon as the oil glistens, lightly saute the onions until just about till soft; add the garlic (Do not let it get too brown!) Reduce burner heat to medium.
  • 4. Add the corned beef as you take it with a fork out of the can; Stir to break up the pieces coming out of the can, and stir until it is getting soft, and slightly brown.
  • 5. At this point, you may need to add more oil to the wok or pan as all canned corned beef is not the same. You want some oil in the pan when you add the cabbage.
  • 6. Practice your stir fry skills and toss and stir the cabbage lightly and often for the first 3 minutes. You want to spread the corned beef, and onions into the cabbage.
  • 7. Cover for about 8 minutes; check to see if cabbage is getting soft and cover the pan again if it is still hard crisp, about another 3-4 minutes depending on the size of the cabbage and your wok & stove.
  • 8. When you see cabbage getting soft, stir again several times. You want to have a bit of crisp left to some of the cabbage, and some soft.
  • 9. Serve over steamed rice, with Shoyu (soy sauce), and enjoy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 cup kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons whole coriander
1 1/2 tablespoons whole mustard seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 tablespoons whole allspice
4 sprigs fresh marjoram
4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) brisket
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, halved
6 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 head celery including leaves, coarsely chopped
1 head garlic, halved
3 sprigs fresh marjoram
1 small cabbage cut into 6 to 8 wedges
Herbed Root Vegetables, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound new potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound baby carrots, trimmed and scrubbed
1 pound baby turnips, trimmed and scrubbed
1 pound baby parsnips, trimmed and scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs like thyme, mint, chives, parsley, or chervil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the brine ingredients, except the brisket, in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the brisket (you may have to cut it into 2 pieces) and rub the spice mix into the meat. Pour cold water over until the meat is covered. Weight the brisket down with a small plate so that it is completely submerged; cover and refrigerate. The meat can be brined overnight or as long as 10 days. The longer the brining the more pickled the meat.
  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, marjoram, and bay leaves and cook until starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the brine and rinse it well. Set the meat on top of the vegetables and add water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil skimming any foam that surfaces. Reduce the heat to a simmer, place the lid on the pot, and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cabbage pieces, cover, and put it into the oven; cook for 3 hours.
  • Remove the meat, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes. Cut the fat off the corned beef, slice the meat against the grain, and serve it in shallow bowls with the cabbage wedges, some cooking liquid, and the Herbed Root Vegetables.
  • Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.
