Best Way to.cook Corned Beef and Cabbage

Simple, satisfying, and easy to make, we're not sure why corned beef and cabbage is relegated to one day a year here in the US. The word corn simply is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word for curing. At a time without refrigeration, meat would be cured using salt broken up into lard crystals known then as corns, hence corned beef!

Corned beef is technically just referencing a type of preparation that could be applied to a number of cuts of beef that benefit from long cook times such as short ribs or ox tails, but the cut that provides the perfect balance of rich flavor from fat and tender lean meat is brisket. The brisket is large and made up of many components but the largest, and usually easiest to find, is the flat cut. It is tender and great for slicing which makes it a perfect candidate for corned beef.

Cured brisket can be cooked in many ways (one of our favorites is smoking). However, boiling is the easiest method that won't skimp on flavor. This classic boiled version is relatively low maintenance, just make sure to keep your corned beef fully submerged in liquid for the entire cook time.  You can keep a small pot or kettle of boiling water on another burner for adding water to avoid disrupting the boiling process.

Also we know cabbage can get a bad wrap for its slimy texture and slight smell. But these things only really occur if you boil the cabbage with the beef the whole cook time. Adding the cabbage just 5 minutes before serving will help to keep the bright flavor of the cabbage as well as some of its crispy texture.

And if you've got leftovers... it's gotta be a loaded reuben sandwich. Or you can store it in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
