Corned Beef and Cabbage
This year in honor of St. Patrick’s Day I made corned beef and cabbage for the first time! (Since I am a weebit Irish)I got tips from coworkers and it seemed easy enough to me. This is how I did it:
What you need:
Bottle of beer
Corned Beef
1 Onion
1 Bay leaf
Head of Cabbage
Mustard (optional)
Carrots
Potatoes
Fill a large pot halfway up with water then add a bottle of beer, onion, bay leaf and corned beef. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 21/2 hours. Cut up carrots potatoes and throw them in while the corned beef is simmering. When vegetables are almost tender add the cabbage. Cook another 15 minutes. Take the meat out and let sit for 15 minutes. Cut across the grain and serve! Remove the carrots and potatoes into a bowl with as much of the liquid as you want. The meal is done! Add mustard(optional). You can use leftovers to make corned beef hash and Ruben sandwiches. Yum!
