Corn Beef + cabbage. it's time.
 

i went a bit crazy. i bought several and put them into deep freeze. i hope they still work and are not too insanely salty.

so how are you doing it? anyone add beer to the cooking water?

i think i might try to add non-alc amber odouls. i use a dutch oven low and slow in the oven..you?

i also bought a piece that is almost cubed shaped..not the big flat slab i usuually see. (i do have those in the freezer).

I cook ours in the oven, low and slow, using a big bottle of Guinness Stout only.

I'm forgoing to pot as well this year and trying in the oven.

I make corned bear myself. I will make sure to serve it this weekend. I make my corned meats without nitrates, turns out just as good. The broth I boil it in makes a nice clear soup too the next day, cubed meat leftovers and noodles.

bad ass!!

sucks my wife thinks BEARS are the single cutest animal on the planet..i pick my battles. i let her focus on the bears so she never notices the elk, deer, pigs, goats, rabbits..

ah, you get the point.

pics later G. you need to show us the final product.

I cook mine in the pressure cooker. Want to try the crock pot as it did a great job on baby back ribs recently (dry rub)...and I am told that it is similar for corned beef brisket.

Corned beef is usually brisket. It is not a cube unless a different cut (roast?).

Never froze one...but it should not make much difference.

I cured one last fall when I made Pastrami...

Soak in water for a few hours to over night to remove salt..

Salt is your enemy...it drives blood pressure and makes your body retain water.

Low and slow - in the oven covered.

Good advice for people with hypertension that never break a sweat. But for everyone else, the whole idea behind corned anything is that it is salty. De-tune the mashed potatoes and cabbage if you need to balance the meal ...

Next you are going to suggest non alcoholic beer to go with it ...

Thanks for the thread - going to try a slow cooker recipe this week.....

Corned beef is OK. I just can't stand the smell of cooking cabbage. Yuck.

I did a test run last month with my instant pot. 1 hour and it is done. Juicy, tender and a very smooth texture? Hard to explain, but it was smooth like butter. Made the buttered cabbage on the stove. Years ago I did it in the crock pot with a beer broth recipe. I think the beer spoiled the corned beef taste.

I usually make my corned beef and cabbage in a big pot and it takes hours to get it tender. Instant pot is the way to go for me!

I also make mine in the pressure cooker with cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and onions. It's a good way to cook a quick, filling meal.

My wife will be doing that in the crockpot/pressure cooker with potatoes, carrots, and onions.....Oh Yea, can't wait ! I prefer my cabbage on the side.

You couldn't force feed me that - even with a gun pointed to my head..........

On the other hand, I'll take an Irish red head any day of the week......

I picked up Corned Beef & Cabbage last night at Whole Foods (ready to eat). It was damm good and I will have to try and make it myself this month.

Damn, St. Pat's Day and Sebring rolled into one day. Add some CB and cabbage and what more can a guy ask for? I let my 100% Mick wife cook it as the skill set is in her genes.

I see St Paddy's day as an American tradition created by marketing people to sell products.
Same with sink-o-day-mayo.

But like the salesmen say, everyone is Irish on st. paddy's day.

My great (times 9) grandfather:

yea..my people laid the groundwork for the food illusion

eggrolls, chop suey and general Zhao's chicken..:)

surely a photo is required here I can't envisage this delicacy!

... is actually pretty decent if you use a good recipe for it. Not at all like the crap you find in the endless Chinese buffets that litter America.

I don't know if I've had corned beef since I was a kid, I can't say I've ever had a craving for it.

oh..i love the general's famous dish.!!

Try Fuchsia Dunlop's version of it, maybe reducing the vinegar just a tad.

Just got mine going in the slow cooker.

Now we wait......:p

I'll put in the cabbage in about 7 hours....cook it for another hour and then shut her down.

I'll be up late anyway watching basketball....

hey..she is that lady that is on David Changs show..UGLY DELICIOUS.

thanks.!! her chinese speaking is damn good according to my wife.

I got a corned beef last year and smoked it. Made pastrami. It was tasty.

Kind of funny that a guy that evangelized Ireland is now an excuse to get sheet faced drunk:

Patrick arrived in Slane, Ireland on March 25, 433. There are several legends about what happened next, with the most prominent claiming he met the chieftan of one of the druid tribes, who tried to kill him. After an intervention from God, Patrick was able to convert the chieftain and preach the Gospel throughout Ireland. There, he converted many people -eventually thousands - and he began building churches across the country.

He often used shamrocks to explain the Holy Trinity and entire kingdoms were eventually converted to Christianity after hearing Patrick's message.

Patrick preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years

And most of us gringos think Cinco De Mayo is Mexican independence day.

I watched the episode last night on shrimp and crawfish. DC was eating and burning up his mouth and she was just eating that stuff like it was no big deal. Saw a documentary on Netflix a year ago that was all About the dish.

Edit: It was this one.... http://www.thesearchforgeneraltso.com/

LOL, I heard that General Tso's chicken was actually from Thailand. :eek:

And you know where egg rolls came from right?

Not that I care... I LOVE egg rolls!

My best guess would be the frozen food section at the supermarket ......

We get the best egg rolls from a locally famous food truck.....totally awesome !

Nope. New York City. Created by an ex-pat Taiwanese chef.

I have experienced St Patrick’s Day as a celebration of drunk people buying me green beer. Damn good holiday and a great time to do something to show your appreciation for the snake haters of the world.

That's really slow cooking if it is for Saturday!

I ate a corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Made a couple cb sandwiches on Great Buns rye bread. The bread with butter is to die for.

Happy St. Patricks Day to ye all from Cork in Ireland.

May the wind be always at your back, and may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Happy St. Pats day.

I'm loving a Guinness, but the corn beef & cabbage dish is not widely celebrated here at all to my knowledge, which seems strange as we embrace the day with great fervour otherwise. What's that all about?
