    Corned Beef and Cabbage is a wonderful comfort food meal equally suitable for St. Patrick's Day celebrations and family dinners!

    Also, pair this classic oven baked corned beef and cabbage with our corned beef and cabbage spices for out of this world flavor! There is no comparison between the commercial spice packets and using our best spice blend for this popular Irish-American comfort food dish!

    Is Corned Beef and Cabbage Irish? No, not exactly. For those of you that are sticklers for historical correctness, please note that Corned Beef and Cabbage is not usually eaten in Ireland.

    A similar dish, bacon and cabbage, is enjoyed by the Irish. This hearty entree is an American-made meal, originally enjoyed by Irish immigrants here in the states.

    No matter it's origins, the richness of baked corned beef and cabbage are served up perfectly with this slow roasted corned beef! The meat melts in your mouth with an incredible savory flavor! I mean, I literally can't say enough good things about how much my family loves this method for our corned beef!

    🤔 What Is Corned Beef?

    Corned beef is a salt-cured beef portion, typically a tough cut of the beef. Most often the cut of beef used is brisket, but can also be rump or round cuts. These are all cuts that do best when cooked low and slow, with plenty of liquids.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Corned Beef Brisket
    • Beef Broth
    • Guinness - 2 bottles (extra stout)
    • Seasoning - Corned beef and cabbage seasoning, plus salt and pepper.
    • Coarse Ground Mustard
    • Brown Sugar
    • Herbs - Garlic, bay leaves, and fresh thyme.
    • Veggies - Green cabbage, Onion, parsnips, carrots, and celery.
    • Red Potatoes

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    Oven, stove-top, instant pot and slow cooker instructions below!

    How To Make Corned Beef in the Oven

    1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and move the racks down so that your roasting dish will be centered in the oven.
    2. In a large roasting pan or dutch oven, combine the beef broth and Guinness with the homemade corned beef and cabbage seasoning mix. Place your corned beef brisket portion, fat side up, in the center of your dutch oven or roasting pan.
    3. Coat the top of your corned beef with the coarse ground mustard, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover and cook for 1 hour.
    4. Remove the roasting pan from oven, and transfer the corned beef to a cutting board. Then strain the liquids to remove whole herbs (if desired, OR a spice sachet could have been used to place all whole spices). Return the strained liquid to the roasting pan.
    5. Before returning the corned beef, add the minced garlic and sliced or chopped onion. Place the corned beef, fat side up again, in the center of your roasting dish. Add vegetables (carrots, celery, parsnips, potatoes and cabbage), arranged around the corned beef. Top with sprigs of fresh thyme.
    6. Cover and return the roasting pan to the center of your oven, continue cooking at 325°F (162°C) for an additional 2 hours (or a total of 1 hour per pound of corned beef). When the corned beef is fork tender, it is ready to serve.
    7. Remove the corned beef and vegetables from the roasting pan, slice corned beef against the grain and serve with juices drizzled over when plated (if desired).

    To make stove top corned beef

    1. Add the liquids, seasoning, place the meat fat side up in a dutch oven or large pot.
    2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 ½ hours.
    3. After that 2 ½ hours, add vegetables (except the cabbage) and cook for 15 minutes.
    4. Add the cabbage and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meat, potatoes, and cabbage are tender.

    To make slow cooker or crock pot corned beef

    1. Add the liquids, seasoning, place the meat fat side up, then add your vegetables.
    2. On low setting, cook in the slow cooker for 8 ½ to 10 hours. On high setting, cook for 4 ½ to 6 hours (or until meat is tender).

    To make instant pot or pressure cooker corned beef

    1. Add the liquids, seasoning, place the meat fat side up and cook on the high pressure or meat/stew setting for 90 minutes.
    2. While the corned beef rests, add the vegetables and seal your instant pot or pressure cooker and cook on high setting for 10 more minutes.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • All cooking methods should should have an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) as read by a meat thermometer at the thickest portion of the baked corned beef as suggested by USDA food safety guidelines.
    • Allow the finished corned beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing. It will slice easier once rested and the juices will not be lost on your cutting board, keeping your meat tender and flavorful.

    ❔ What To Use Leftover Corned Beef For

    Try using this leftovers from this tasty corned beef recipe on our Irish Nachos, yum! Enjoy!

    Leftover corned beef is commonly used for corned beef hash and sandwiches such as reuben sandwiches (a grilled sandwich with corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on rye bread) or corned beef special sandwiches (a cold sandwich with corned beef, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye bread).

    Corned Beef and Cabbage, a comfort food dish that is equally suited to everyday family meals as it is to being the centerpiece of St. Patrick's Day celebrations!

    Notes

    *All cooking methods should should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) as read by a meat thermometer at the thickest portion of the baked corned beef as suggested by USDA food safety guidelines.
    **Allow the finished corned beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing. It will slice easier once rested and the juices will not be lost on your cutting board, keeping your meat tender and flavorful.
    ***The perfectly cooked corned beef will melt in your mouth, not fall apart on your plate. Corned beef that is too tender, does not slice well for sandwiches (a common use for left overs!).
