Beef Brisket with Cabbage image

This recpe is a great alternative to Corned Beef. Especially, for those of us who are trying to watch our salt intake. Add cabbage and potatoes, and you have a one pot meal. Recipe from: Margaret Mitchell's Mealtime Magic, Meat and Poultry Cookery. Copy Right 1951

Categories     Beef

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 lb flat, beef brisket
3 onions, sliced
3 whole cloves
6 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled, quartered
1 stalk celery
1 peeled, carrot
2 sprigs parsley
1 cabbage head, quartered and cored

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe meat with damp cloth; place in large deep kettle; cover with cold water.
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients.
  • 3. Cover; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low; simmer 3 1/2-5 hours or until meat is tender; remove any scum, that might appear.
  • 4. 1 hour before meat is done, place quartered cabbage on top of meat, cover and return heat to low simmer. Cook until cabbage is tender.
  • 5. Remove cabbage, keep warm until ready to serve; remove meat from stock; slice; serve with horseradish sauce. See recipe below.
  • 6. Horseradish Sauce: 1 c. whipping cream 1 T. lemon juice 1 1/2 T. bottled horseradish 1/8 t. salt (optional) Whip cream; add remaining ingredients; blend thoroughly. Makes approx. 2 1/2 c.
  • 7. My Notes: 1. This can also be cooked in crockpot or slow cooker. However, I would not add as much water as recipe calls for, since slow cookers tend to accumulate moisture. 2. Potatoes can also be added to the meat, but I would remove vegetables that were added at the beginning, then add potatoes before the cabbage. 3. Other vegetables that can be added along with potatoes are turnips, rutabagas and carrots.
