Corned Beef and Cabbage - St. Patricks Meal

[Music] hello this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with corn beef and cabbage the official meal of St Patrick's Day and why is that it was chosen because it's a recipe you can cook drunk so easy so here we go I got a 4 and 1/2 that's a big one 4 and2 PB corn beef right from the supermarket take it out of the package rinse it I'm going to add some onions some celery some carrots and pretty big chunks and you get the spices free all right and I like that little packet it's pretty much what I was going to put in anyway and it makes it you know magically delicious so I'm going to add 3 quart of cold water and I'm using a nice big Dutch oven so you might have to adjust the water a little for your own size pot you want it to cover for sure I'm going to put in about a teaspoon of salt I'm going to bring that up to a simmer and before I cover it I'm going to skim the top for that foam we call that corn beef scum all right what we're going to do is we're going to cover this we're going to turn the heat to very low very low and we're going to simmer this for about 3 hours it's not going to be totally done but it's going to be almost done and you can see here it's almost fork tender the fork will go in but it's still kind of tough and at this point I'm going to add my potatoes so I'm going to add large red potatoes I just cut in half and I'm going to cook that for another half hour now while that's simmering uncovered I'm going to cut up my cabbage I have one small green cabbage I'm going to cut it in E which if you're drunk that's quarters cut in half all right I'm going to put that on top and I know they're not submerged but that's okay cuz I'm going to cover this and cook it for another 20 minutes or so to a half hour until everything is tender potatoes are tender cabbage is tender meat also tender all right we're going to pull out the meat it doesn't matter St Patrick's Day or not drunk or not meat has to rest before you slice it all right after the meat rested about 15 minutes I'm going to cut off any large large chunks of fat leave a little bit come on I'm going to cut Against the Grain I know you hear that all the time Against the Grain Against the Grain see if you cut it with the grain this is what happens it just shreds it looks ugly don't do that cut across those fibers it'll just have a better texture serve it very simply fish out some potatoes some cabbage some carrots and some celery little bit of that brazing liquid on top I serve it with a little hot mustard and rye bread man what a great great American tradition for your information corn beef and cabbage not an authentic Irish dish invented in America all right and this is so easy to make you can totally drink an entire six-pack of Guinness or harp in my case and make that very successfully so give it a try go to the site get the ingredients and as always enjoy
