Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe (2024)

Is total time 3 hours putting vegetables in at 1 1/2 hours or vegetables go in at 3 hours and total time 4 1/2 hours.?

This is my new go-to recipe for New England Boiled Dinner! I made my own spice packet with peppercorns, coriander, allspice, mustard seeds, bay leaf. I added water in addition to wine to slightly cover the beef. So delicious!

My husband is obsessed with this recipe! I made it for St. Patrick’s day dinner and he loved it so much he has been requesting it ever since. Such an easy and flavorful recipe! The leftover corned beef makes great Reuben sandwiches. The carrots, potatoes, and cabbage didn’t reheat that well the next day. They were very soft from all the juices and long cook time so they were soggy as leftovers. When I make this again, I will only add the amount of veggies we can eat in one sitting.

This works. Cheap beef brisket was used by Irish immigrants when they came to America. The Irish where so poor, that in their home country they ate pork, since beef was too expensive. My grandmother was Irish from Cork. Forget the glaze, too complicated for a peasant dish and even the wine, water would probably been more in keeping with tradition. I removed the brisket in the last leg, and cooked the veg in the broth on their own.Just a suggestion.Don't forget the Guinness if so inclined

Followed the recipe to the letter. At the two-hour mark, I smelled burning and dashed to the kitchen. The wine had completely evaporated and the bottom of my heavy Dutch oven was scorched. In the past, I always covered corned beef with water and cooked it on the stove instead of in the oven. Will stick to that method from now on!

I’ve been cooking corned beef and cabbage every Saint Patrick’s Day for nearly half a century. This was by far the best I ever cooked. I do suggest adding some water to the braising wine. Also, next time I will add some turnips.

This dish was taken to the next level when I began ROASTING the potatoes, carrots (and parsnips & onion wedges) in the oven instead of boiling them. Toss with your choice of oil and salt & pepper first. Thyme is a nice touch, too. Fantastic! No longer just plain ol' "boiled food" for poor folks! Also, be sure to only simmer the cabbage until just tender-crisp.

Made this with "uncured" corned beef from my local food co-op. Because we weren't a large party, I used only a pound of meat, but six carrots, six potatoes, one tiny cabbage cut in sixths, and two rutabagas, each cut into sixths. Also omitted the honey at the grilling stage. It was absolutely splendid, and we had great leftovers besides.

Followed directions exactly and when I removed the corned beef from the oven to add the veggies all the liquid(wine) had evaporated. Not sure if they expect the fat to create more liquid but that didn’t happen. Needed to add water to cover the brisket and the vegetables to finish cooking the last 90 minutes.

So many people are commenting on their liquid boiling off. I think it's your pot. I use a heavy Le Creuset pot with lid, and I've always had lots of liquid left over after cooking for 3+ hours.

Same here at the three hour point smelled smoke and all the liquid had already cooked away

Really, REALLY, rinse the corned beef! I added water with the white wine to come almost to the top of the meat. Cooked potatoes separately and mashed them. I had no cabbage, so the only thing that cooked in the water/wine was the meat, which was very tender!Overall good results...a little salty, but I will do a better job rinsing the corned beef next time.

Oven 350f.Braise: 1 bottle of ricks Sangiovese Rosato h20 to bring to almost cover brisket.Added carrots at 2.5 hrs. Cooked 3 hrs total.Made colcannon separately, of cabbage and potatoes.No glaze ; did not broil.Used prepared horseradish mixed with creme fresh for serving,Perfection.

You REALLY have to wash the meat before putting it in the pot. I rinsed it well but it still tasted a bit salty in the end. Next time I will consider soaking the brisket in cold water to decrease the salt. I could take or leave the honey mustard at the end. Guests liked it but I am on the fence. It didn’t add much in my opinion. Overall a nice alternative to the usual boil.

Rob, never a good idea to use the oven. Simmer it on top of the stove where you can keep an eye on it. That's the way it's always done.

Used Octoberfest Ska instead of white wine

Should have read the notes first. At the 3 hour mark most of the liquid was gone. Added water and some more wine to be able to cook the vegetables. Using a very heavy Lodge Dutch oven. Lid not fit tight enough? Took it to the stove top to get the water simmering and am finishing it there.

This was the best corned beef I ever made, tender but not falling apart. Did add 1 cup of water to initial bake. Did roast vegetables separately as another reviewer suggested.

Cooked on top of the stove. 4 lbs of Costco Corned beef was plenty for 8 adults. Cabbage needs at least 30 minutes. Small head is sufficient for 8, used baby red potatoes and carrots. Added carrots to pot after potatoes.

The best and so easy.

I tried this method and it didn't work for me. After 4 hours in the oven, the brisket was still not thoroughly cooked and tender. After 1.5 hours, neither were the vegetables. With a hungry crowd waiting, I had to take everything out and put them in pots on the stove top to finish. Back to boiling for me!

This was excellent, and perfectly cooked, including meat and vegetables.I will have some of Sam Sifton's Irish tacos as a leftover!

What a fantastic meal. It was the absolute BEST Corned Beef and Cabbage meal we’ve ever made and eaten. Just a couple of changes made. Instead of wine, we poured a heavy stout (one bottle). We did not have dijon mustard on hand so I used stone ground mustard. At the end when the meat was in the broiler (do not skip that step with the honey mustard), I cut up pats of butter to add to the veggies and stout. Fabulous meal and and will enjoy again multiple times over.

Tried two batches, with and without glaze, I like glaze a little better, but both great. 4 carrots better than 3. Used halved baby red potatoes. Cut cabbage into more than 4 pieces, keep core intact. Much better to soak meat in cold water for several hours first to reduce salt. Added 1 can Guinness in addition to wine. Baked 300 instead of 325 but also longer, 3 hours without veggies and 2.5 with veggies.

This recipe was delicious. I did not have any reduction of the fluids while cooking, which I count for due to my tightly fitting Dutch oven lid. I followed the recommendations of other cooks, and did not make more vegetables than my family and I could consume in the 1 meal, as the veggies would be too mushy. I also roasted a set of vegetables that may be eaten with the leftover meat later. Very glad I did these things. I will definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe very closely, just added a bit more liquid to the braise to avoid going dry. The corned beef was very good with the honey mustard glaze. But I found the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots to be very bland. Maybe the braise liquid was too dilute because I added extra liquid?

Delicious alternative to a Guiness corned beef. Cooked corned eye-of-round roast in slow cooker, but with this sauce and was so good with the wine. Great finish with mustard-honey glaze.

So delicious. Cooked in slow cooker, but with this wine sauce. So delicious! Loved the honey- mustard glaze as a finish!

Made it exactly as written using Pinot Grigio instead of Riesling. So good and an absolute crowd pleaser. I did cut my cabbage into pretty thick wedges. I might cut them thinner the next time. Other than that, perfect.

This was the BEST corned beef and cabbage meal we’ve ever had. Costco sells a very good corned beef, which I prepared according to this recipe, adding half a cup of water to the wine after reading the notes. There was plenty of liquid left in my heavy enamel pot. Cooked the meat 3 hours, added the vegetables, cooked it just 45 more minutes because I had to put the soda bread in the oven. It was perfect. Melt in your mouth beef, not too salty—even the carrots were delicious.
