ST. PADDY'S DAY LEFTOVER CORNED BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbly.
• Cook and stir onion in the melted butter until browned, about 8 minutes. Set onion aside.
• Stir corned beef, chili sauce, and mayonnaise together in a bowl.
• Spread sauerkraut in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
• Spoon corned beef mixture on top of sauerkraut.
• Sprinkle cooked onions on top of corned beef mixture.
• Top onions with 1/2 cup Swiss cheese.
• Cover casserole dish with aluminum foil and place in preheated oven. Bake 30 minutes.
• Cut individual biscuits in half. Remove casserole from oven and place halved biscuits on top of casserole. Bake until biscuits are lightly golden brown, about 18 minutes.
• Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Swiss cheese on top of casserole. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

CORNED BEEF HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil. Fill the bottom of the dish with one layer of the potatoes (about 4 cups). Drizzle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Bake until hot and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and red and green peppers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and started to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the corned beef, and cook for 2 minutes more. Let cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper in a large bowl.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Cheddar over the potatoes in the casserole dish. Layer the vegetable-beef mixture over the Cheddar. Pour the egg mixture into the dish and top with the remaining cup of Cheddar. (The casserole can be assembled up to this point and refrigerated overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Top the casserole with the remaining potatoes (about 2 cups). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the top is lightly golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

ST. PATTY'S DAY CORNED BEEF

Steps:

• BE SURE TO DISCARD ANY BRINING LIQUID THAT COMES WITH THE MEAT- INCLUDING THE SPICE PACKET!
• Trim all visible fat from the meat- this may take some time (I use kitchen shears to ease this process).
• Place meat in a large Dutch oven and cover with water.
• Add ale, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, a light shake of crushed red pepper flakes, peppercorns, garlic, and the onion chunks to the pot.
• Bring to a boil, then lower heat just a bit and boil very gently, with lid ajar, for 4-5 hours or until meat is so tender that is breaks apart when you pull at it with a fork.
• Keep checking the pot from time to time to prevent boilovers- you will need to keep lowering the heat throughout the cooking process as the liquid reduces, especially in the first hour (It should still be hot enough to still gently boil, but not spilling over the sides of the pot).
• Meat should be very, very fork tender when ready for the next cooking stage and will have shrunk considerably from its original size.
• In the last half hour or so of cooking time, boil the carrots and potatoes in a separate pot of water to cover and cook until fork tender; Drain vegetables and set in a small bowl.
• Remove meat and onion pieces from boiling liquid (discard that liquid) and set into a large roasting pan (I usually pour the liquid through a strainer to catch the onion pieces).
• Surround meat with boiled carrots, potatoes, and onion pieces.
• Combine dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and rub all over the meat surface and sprinkle any remaining rub over the vegetables.
• If needed, make up extra dry rub to coat the vegetables (we often do this).
• Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 325°F oven for about 20 minutes until the top of the meat begins to look shiny.
• Remove from oven and wait about 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices along the grain of the meat.
• Note: The meat will take on a very bright red hue when sliced- this is perfectly normal and is a result of both the brining nature of corned beef and the red ale enhances this color.
• I often make an extra pan of vegetables sprinkled with a full batch of dry rub and include not only carrots and potatoes, but parsnips as well (treat parsnips the same as you would a carrot.) I have successfully half-doubled this recipe when only larger corned beef cuts were available- larger cuts will take longer to boil but the roughly the same time to bake because the baking stage is merely to cook the dry rub into a glaze.
• PLEASE NOTE: If you substitute regular brown ale, then you will not get the same result in both color and flavor (You may substitute another Irish ale or even an Irish lager if you must, but we really prefer the red ale).

CORNED BEEF DINNER FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Steps:

• Place corned beef in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot and pour in enough water to cover beef by 2 inches. Bring water to a boil, skimming the liquid occasionally to remove fat from top. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer for 2 hours.
• Arrange cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots around beef and return liquid to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer beef to a serving platter, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Surround meat with the vegetables.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until dissolved and bubbling, about 1 minute. Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar to butter-flour mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk sour cream and mustard into sauce. Serve sauce alongside corned beef and vegetables.
