Corned Beef and Cabbage
Corned beef and cabbage is a timeless pairing, particularly during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Though widely associated with Irish traditions, its roots can actually be found here in America; Irish immigrants working at NYC delicatessens in the 19th century noted flavor similarities between corned beef from their homeland and its Jewish neighbors’ smoked meats.
Corned Beef and Cabbage can be easily prepared using either the oven or pressure cooker. To do it in the former method, combine corned beef, pickling spices (thyme, coriander and bay leaves) and peppercorns in a dutch oven with enough cold water to cover; bring to boil over high heat before reducing it for two hours of simmering until all meat has become tender.
To use an Instant Pot, combine all ingredients in the pot and set to “meat/stew” mode for 90 minutes. At this point, quick release pressure by opening lid immediately, remove corned beef from pot to rest before straining cooking liquid into another container (reserving 2 cups for later).
Once the corned beef is cool, cut it against the grain into thin slices and use any leftover broth as a sauce to combine with your veggies and meat for a flavorful and filling meal. Accompany it with some delicious sourdough bread for an unforgettable dining experience that’s full of rich textures and tastes – and don’t forget that this makes an easy lunch option throughout the week!
