Corned Beef and Cabbage Stew Recipe
One of my favorite things to make every St. Patricks Day, or just any day I’m craving it. A nice flavory food with just a bit of salty flavor that is easy to make and good for beginners.
- 1-1/12 pounds of corned beef
- 1/2 a head of cabbage
- 3 potatoes
- 4 carrots
- Pepper(optional)
- Fill a large pot about half-way with water and set it to boil
- Cut the corned beef into bite size pieces. Keep in mind the corn beef will shrink a bit when it cooks. The size of bite is up to you
- When the water is boiling carefully slid the chunks of corned beef into the boiling water. Leave to boil for 3-4 hours. Careful of boil over. Meat should be soft and tender to bite.
- While the meat cooks, cut the carrots and potatoes into chunks and set aside for now until the meat is 10-15 before ready, it should still be a little tough to bite, then slid in the carrots and potatoes.
- When meat is nearly ready, tear bits of the cabbage off and drop into the water. The cabbage will only need about 5 minutes to cook and add it’s flavor to the broth. Add the pepper now if you are using it.
- Ready to serve!

I leave my corned beef whole. When done slice against the grain.
You lost me when you wanted me to cut up a gorgeous brisket into "bite sized" chunks. Some things aren't meant to be "stews". :-)
