Corned Beef Dinner for St. Patrick's Day image

This recipe has been handed down in my family for several generations. The sauce is incredible; so smooth and tasty. Adding even a tiny amount of horseradish makes it even better. If you already have a favorite corned beef recipe, you could still make the sauce to serve with your recipe. The sauce is silky-smooth, absolutely delicious, and makes the whole meal! Serve horseradish on the side, if desired.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds corned beef brisket, or more to taste
water to cover
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into 6 wedges
12 small red potatoes, halved
1 pound small white onions, peeled
6 large carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Place corned beef in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot and pour in enough water to cover beef by 2 inches. Bring water to a boil, skimming the liquid occasionally to remove fat from top. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer for 2 hours.
  • Arrange cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots around beef and return liquid to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer beef to a serving platter, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Surround meat with the vegetables.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until dissolved and bubbling, about 1 minute. Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar to butter-flour mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk sour cream and mustard into sauce. Serve sauce alongside corned beef and vegetables.
