Corned Beef and Cabbage
Corned Beef and Cabbage is a slow-baked brisket seasoned with a mustard and spice mixture, accompanied by roasted cabbage wedges, red potatoes, and carrots. The beef is oven-baked wrapped in foil to retain moisture and tenderize over several hours. The vegetables are roasted separately with olive oil and seasoning to complement the rich, spiced meat.
Ingredients
- 4 ½ pound corned beef brisket excess fat trimmed, center-cut
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 1 onion sliced, medium sweet
- 1 head cabbage cut into 2-inch wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 pounds red potatoes quartered, medium size
- 3 carrot cut into 3-inch pieces, large
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
Instructions
- Place corned beef in a large bowl and cover with cold water; let stand 1-2 hours. Rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with foil.
- In a small bowl, combine mustard, allspice, cloves and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Place corned beef onto the prepared baking dish. Spread mustard mixture evenly over one side of the corned beef; top with onions. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil over the corned beef, covering completely and sealing the packet closed.
- Place into oven and bake until tender, about 3 1/2-4 hours; let stand covered.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Brush cabbage with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place potatoes and carrots in a single layer onto the second prepared baking sheet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
- Place sheet pans into oven, on separate racks, and bake until cabbage is lightly charred and potatoes and carrots are tender, about 30-35 minutes, rotating pans and stirring halfway through baking.
- Thinly slice corned beef against the grain and serve with onions, cabbage, potatoes and carrots, garnished with parsley, if desired.
