Corned Beef With Cabbage Potatoes And Split Pea Mash Stovetop Version Recipes

CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE, POTATOES AND SPLIT PEA MASH - STOVETOP VERSION

Steps:

• Rinse the corned beef brisket and place it in a large stockpot. Cover with beef stock and add the onion, garlic and spices to the pot. (If your corned beef comes with a seasoning packet, you do have the option of using that instead of the spices listed here.) Place the dried split peas into a pudding bag, or wrap them in the cheesecloth, tying the cheesecloth loosely so that the peas have room to expand. Push the bag down into the liquid, adding a cup or two of water to make sure everything is submerged. Cover the pot with a lid and bring everything to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Add the cabbage wedges, carrots and potatoes, return the lid and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
• When all the vegetables are tender, transfer the cooked split peas to a bowl. Remove the cheesecloth and discard. Mash the peas with a wooden spoon, stirring in the butter and season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
• Slice the beef, transfer the slices to a large platter with the vegetables and serve the mashed split peas on the side.

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 AND CABBAGE ON POTATO

Steps:

• Special equipment: 1-inch circle cutter
• Cut potato slices with a 1 to 1 1/2-inch circle cutter and soak in water to remove starch. Place on a rack placed over a shallow pan of water. Steam to al dente and set aside to cool. Using a melon baller (ball scoop) scoop out a recess in each disk.
• Cook bacon and remove to paper towels to drain. Pour most of the bacon fat from the pan and add butter over medium heat. Add cabbage and season with black pepper. Cook until it begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in corned beef, and crumble in bacon. Cook together for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to integrate, remove from heat and stir in horseradish.
• Combine the milk, onion, bay leaf, cloves, and nutmeg over medium heat. Spoon the melted butter into a separate heat resistant bowl and whisk in the cornstarch, then whisk in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, reserving the rest. When the milk is fairly hot, pour a small amount of it into the cheese mixture, stirring until the milk is thoroughly blended in. Return this to the remaining milk, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat, season sauce to taste, with white pepper, and salt if needed. Remove and discard bay leaf and cloves. Immediately put a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Stir enough of the sauce and reserved Parmesan into the corned beef/cabbage mixture to bind into a thick mixture. Spoon the mixture onto prepared potato disks, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place on a baking sheet. Flash finish in oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes (monitor to make sure they don't burn). Sprinkle with chives and serve.

CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE & POTATOES

Steps:

• Trim brisket of excess gristle if needed. Do not remove the back-strap of fat as this will season in the cooking. In a 20 quart (or large enough to hold all the ingredients) pot place the brisket pretty side up. Add the spice packet that may have come with the brisket and also - beef broth, bay leaves, peppercorns, coriander seeds, whole allspice, dill seeds, mustard seeds, malt vinegar, whole cloves, packed brown sugar, apple juice, Guinness beer, sea salt & coarsely chopped garlic cloves. Now pour over just enough water to barely cover the brisket. Bring pot to a boil, cover and turn down temperature to simmer on medium for 2 hours. Meanwhile (you have 2 hours, take your time) wash/rinse and remove eyes from potatoes, quarter them, rinse again and set aside in bath of cool water. Also chop the sweet onion into large wedges too and set aside.
• After 2 hours of simmering, drain and add the potatoes to the brisket pot. Also add 1/2 the onion and 5 baby carrots to the pot. Add more water if needed to cover everything; this may not be needed. Bring pot back to a boil, cover and turn down to simmer for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, take the cabbage and peel off the outer leaves, rinse the heads and slice into large quarters. * Cut cabbage down the spine so the wedges stay together. Now add the cleaned cabbage, the remaining onion and the remaining 10 baby carrots to the pot. Cover and simmer again for another 30 minutes at least, stir once or twice. It is really hard to overcook cabbage so rather, just do not undercook it. After 30 minutes check to see if the cabbage is tender, if its not simmer for another 5-10 minutes. If cabbage is tender turn off the burner and let the pot cool a moment on the stove.
• Remove the brisket from the pot, cut lengthwise and place on serving dish with the cabbage. Meanwhile in a large serving bowl, chop the stick of butter into smaller pats. Chop the parsley from its stems and add to the bowl with the butter. Strain out the hot potatoes/carrots/onions from the broth and put right into the bowl, stir until potato mixture is coated in parsley and butter is completely melted. You can toss out the broth or retain the last 1/4 (with the spices) for an au jus sauce.
• Serve all with a dash of sea salt, mustard and horseradish if desired.
