Baked Corned Beef and Cabbage
Baked Corned Beef and Cabbage combines a corned beef brisket rubbed with brown sugar and cured spices baked on a bed of baby potatoes, carrots, cabbage wedges, and pearl onions in Guinness or beef broth. Slow oven cooking tenderizes the meat and vegetables, yielding a colorful, hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces baby gold potato halved (or quartered for larger potatoes
- 1 lb. carrot baby
- 1 small head cabbage, cored and cut into about 8 wedges
- 1 (14 ounce) onion frozen pearl white
- ½ cup Guinness beer (or sub with beef broth)
- 1 (3 ½ - 4 lb.) corned beef brisket pre-brined with spice packet
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- fresh parsley optional garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and onions (in that order) in the bottom of a large Dutch oven.
- Pour the beer or beef broth over top.
- Rub the meat with the brown sugar and the seasonings from the spice packet. Place the beef (fat-side up) on top of the vegetables in the Dutch oven.
- Cover and bake for about 3 hours (or longer, if using a larger piece of meat). The meat is done when it's very tender. It has a pink color because nitrite is used in the curing process -- not because the meat is rare. If you're using a larger brisket, you may need to increase the total cooking time. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve the vegetables with a slotted spoon. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs.
Notes
- You can prepare this dish in a slow cooker by layering ingredients as instructed and cooking on LOW for 10-12 hours or HIGH for 5-6 hours.
