Corned beef? Any recipes?

Question

I have never tried it, any serving suggestion? What is your favorite way of cooking, serving it? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

I LOVE corned beef!  It's a different flavor than any other meat out there, but it's so good... The first recipe is approximately what I do, I just simplify it.  All you need are:

Corned beef

Carrots

Potatoes

Cabbage

Put the corned beef in a large pot of water (or a crockpot with water), bring to a boil, and let simmer for 3-4 hours.  Peel potatoes and carrots, add to the pot, and let boil until almost tender.  (If your pot isn't large enough, you can remove the beef at this point.  Just make sure to reheat before eating).  Coarsely chop the cabbage and add to the pot.  Cook about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is done to taste (some like it mushy, I prefer a little crunch still).  Drain the water and serve!

The most important thing is that you cook the potatoes and veggies in the same water that had the corned beef.  It gives them exactly the right briny flavor.
