Chef John's Braised Corned Beef and Cabbage
Ingredients
  • 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 3 quarts water
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 3 carrots, cut into large chunks
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds red potatoes, halved
  • 1 small head cabbage, cut into eighths
Instructions
1
Combine corned beef, along with its accompanying spice packet ingredients, water, a chopped onion, sliced carrots, diced celery, and salt in a large cooking vessel or Dutch oven; heat the mixture to a gentle boil, carefully removing any foam that accumulates on the surface.
2
Cover the vessel and lower the heat to a low setting, allowing the mixture to cook slowly until the meat becomes almost tender enough to be pierced with a fork, approximately 3 hours. Add diced potatoes to the pot and continue cooking, uncovered, until they reach a tender state, roughly 30 minutes additional to the initial cooking time.
3
Arrange cabbage pieces on top of and around the meat, covering the pot once more. Simmer the mixture for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
4
Transfer the meat to a cutting board and permit it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice the meat across its grain, then serve in a bowl; spoon the accompanying vegetables and broth over the top.
