Corned beef and cabbage boil



I bought a package of pickled corned beef on sale and after googling some videos I realized it was really easy to boil the 1.5 pounds of meat for a couple of hours in water and adding potatoes, carrots and cabbage wedges for an extra half an hour.  Be sure to slice the now tender meat against the grain.

It was delicious and quite good for diabetics such as my husband to eat.  The saltiness of the corned beef goes so well with cabbage and is a simple and classic combination.

Irish people like corned beef and cabbage. Our former pastor was from Ireland, so he once served it at a parish hall party.

My favorite part of that meal is the cabbage! I don't care for all the fat in the broth after the corned beef is cooked, so I usually do the meat early enough that I can chill the broth and remove the hardened fat before I cook the vegetables in it. Then at the last minute I slice the beef and heat it up.

One of our favorite meals around here.
When the corned beef is done, I take it out of the water and then dump the potatoes, carrots & cabbage in the same water & cook them that way. They take on a nice, mellow flavor from the meat. Yummy.
