Corned Beef Cabbage And Potatoes For The Lazy Chef Crock Pot Recipes

CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE, POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the corned beef from its packaging in the sink and reserve the spice packet. Rinse the beef well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. (If you don't rinse off the brine, the meat will be too salty.) If there is a substantial fat cap on top of the beef, place the beef on a cutting board and trim most of it, if you'd like. (The fat will not completely render away during cooking.) Be sure to leave at least a thin layer of fat on top, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, to keep the meat moist.
• Transfer the corned beef to a large Dutch oven with the fat cap facing up. Add the wine and the spices from the packet. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven to cook, 3 hours.
• Baste the beef with the cooking liquid. Drop the potatoes and carrots into the liquid surrounding the beef and lay the cabbage wedges on top. Cover and cook until the corned beef and vegetables are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (A paring knife should slip easily into the beef, but the meat should not be falling apart.)
• Heat the broiler to high. Stir together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Remove the corned beef from the pot and put it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Spoon the honey-mustard glaze all over the top and sides of the beef and slide it under the broiler. Cook until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes in spots, about 3 minutes.
• Let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch slabs. Place the beef slices on the serving platter alongside the vegetables and drizzle everything with a little bit of the cooking liquid. Taste the vegetables, and season them with flaky sea salt, if necessary. (The beef will not need to be seasoned with salt.) Season the beef and vegetables to taste with black pepper. Serve with Dijon mustard.

If seasoning packet is included with corned beef brisket, pour it over the beef brisket after water is added. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 70 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Use quick-release feature to release pressure; carefully remove lid. Remove beef; keep warm. Add potatoes, carrots and cabbage to pressure cooker. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 3 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Continue as directed in Step 4. (This recipe variation was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an altitude of less than 3000 feet may require slightly less cooking time. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.)

CORNED BEEF, CABBAGE, AND POTATOES FOR THE (LAZY CHEF) CROCK POT

Steps:

• Rinse the corned beef under cold water, rubbing the meat gently to remove any thick juices.
• Place the corned beef in a large pot (at least 5.5 quarts, preferably 6-7) add the water, bay leaves, black peppercorns, allspice berries, and cloves. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and skim off any scum that rises to the surface (usually white foam). NOTE: you may need to replace some of the peppercorns, allspice berries, or cloves as they are sometimes discarded with the scum).
• Boil for about 15-20 minutes until water changes to a caramel color.
• Place corned beef in the crock pot, fat-side up, and gently pour the liquid from the pot into the crock pot. Be sure all the contents are transferred to the crock-pot. Cook on high heat for 9 hours.
• Using a spatula and tongs, place the corned beef back into the large pot (try to balance the corned beef on the spatula as it will tend to want to come apart at this point) Transfer the remaining contents of the crock-pot back into the large pot, cover, and bring to a gentle boil. Keep pot covered and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove corned beef using the same method above, place on cutting board and cover tightly in aluminum foil to keep warm.

• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cabbage to a large platter. Gently trim the fat from the corned beef brisket. Slice the corned beef, across the grain, into thin slices (1/4 - 1/2 inch). Place the slices over the cabbage and add the potatoes to either side. Season the corned beef with pepper. Serve immediately.
