the old corned beef

[AJFISH13]

I actually never have carrots on St. Pattys day. However, I always have had corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes along with soda bread.

Quick n Dirty in the slow cooker...(well not that quick )

1 slab of C-Beef (make sure you anticipate winter shrinkage so get enough if your gonna feed more than two people or find a decent size cut)
2.5 Cups of Water
5 Carrots (cut as desired) I usually buy the baby carrots and use the bag
2 heads of cabbage
4-6 Golden Potatoes quartered skin on (give a good wash)
1 BEER - ale of choice of course - my avatar speaks for itself - Killians/Bass/Harp are also nice substitutes
Bottle/Jar of Pickling Spice
3 Bay leaves
Handfull of cloves
Salt and Peppa to taste

In the slow cooker add CB, Carrots, and Potatoes, roughly half the jar of pickling spice, 1 Beer, water and Salt and Pepper to taste. (Cb should be immersed in liquid add more beer or water to accomplish) Heat on low for 8 hours. DO NOT KEEP OPENING THE LID- everytime you do this you will prob need to add like 15-20mins so set it and forget it!! After about 6 hours add the cabbage and turn the CB and rotate all the veggies. By about hour 8 the fat should almost skim off the meat and the meat should be able to be broken apart with a fork. Serve with tons of guiness, Shrimpman Rye , and Irish Soda bread. Post meal: Sleep on the couch or several feet from significant other, contents may be highly flamable.

Happy St. Pattys to all -- DONT BE A D$&K - DONT DRINK N DRIVE!

AJ 13: Spoken like a true Irishman "never eat carrots with corned beef". The color orange is totally verboten on this day.

Erin Go Bragh!

I do mine in the slow cooker as well. This year I picked up a whole corned beef brisket from Rest. Depot (10.55 lbs.) I separated the cuts and trimmed the fat. Before work I put them in the slow cooker with a Blue Moon the corning spices and water. Set the temp. @ 250 and came home at 4 shut the heat and let them steep. Boiled the cabbage and red potatoes together and it was game on. Of course there was Soda bread, rye bread,and Nathan's Coney Island mustard.

Corned beef marked down to 99 cents after next week. Get several for the freezer. Corned beef sandwiches for fluking all summer.

Best way I found is to make the corned beef in the slow cooker with beef stock, guinness, garlic, little ACV & the pickling spice that comes with the beef. Let it go for about 8 hours.

Remove the corned beef & transfer the cooking liquid into a pot on the stove top & boil the rest in there. Cut the cabbage in 4, and stick wooden skewers through the quarters so it stays together. You can also quarter, parboil then roast the potatoes too instead of straight boiling. Makes them nice & crispy.
