How Do I Make Corned Beef With Cabbage? So you looking to make the traditional boiled dinner for St Patricks day? BTW this is also known as the New England Boiled Dinner. Well I’ll tell you what, this is actually one of my favorite meals of all time. I really like the flavor of the corned beef, and I love the braised cabbage and potatoes. When you make this dish, you need to serve with mustard, and horseradish cream sauce. Use the same one in the recipe I listed on how to make horseradish sauce.

Okay, so what goes into making corned beef and cabbage?

Here is what you need…

Ingredients for Corned Beef And Cabbage

4 lb corned brisket of beef
3 large carrots, cut into large chunks
6 to 8 small onions, peeled and quartered or halved
6 to 8 red bliss cut in half, soaked in cold water
1 cabbage
salt and freshly ground pepper

For service, colemans mustard that has been hydrated with water, and horseradish sauce.

Method:

Put the brisket into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring gently to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 3-3 1/2 hours. Once the beef is fork tender, remove it from the broth. Place in the carrots, onion, potatoes and cabbage that has been cleaned and quartered into the broth and cook until the vegetables are tender. About 15 minutes.

Serve the corned beef in slices, surrounded by the vegetables and cooking liquid. Serve with lots of sauce.

There really are tons of right answers. So you can slow roast prime rib, or quick roast prime rib. You can also rotisserie prime rib. But for those of you who are getting started and want to really get something simple going, and look like a hero, there are some simple things you can do when learning to cook prime rib.

First of all, you should plan to have about 8 ounces of raw weight per person you are having over. The second thing you want to make sure you do is have the butcher or supermarket do most of the work.

Now, you can get a bone in rib, or a boneless rib. If you are new to this, get a boneless rib. Make sure you pick a rib that has a small eye of fat in the middle of the rib. Take a look at the side cut and look for the white areas in the cut. You want a rib that has nice white “marbeling” but not a big spot of white. When roasted, that will just be fat.

I recommend choosing USDA choice grade for your prime rib. Most supermarkets will offer this grade now. It is usually a bit more expensive, but much more worth it.

Ask the butcher to make the fat cap 1/4 in thick.

When you get home, all you need to do is prep and roast.

Pre heat your oven to 450 degrees.

Take your rib, and rub it liberally with salt and fresh cracked pepper. If you are feeling adventureous, you can rub it with cajun seasoning, or chopped rosemary and garlic. But salt and pepper will work just as well.

Place it with the fat side facing up onto a roasting pan. When the oven is at 450, place the rib in the oven.

Let it roast for 40 minutes, and then drop the temperature to 300 degrees. (Farenheight).

Let the roast cook in the oven until you reach an internal temperature of 120 degrees. Yes!!!!Buy a good meat thermometer. If you want good results. Make the purchase.

Once you reach 120, remove and let it rest for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

My estimation is that a 10 lbs rib will be done in somewhere around 1 hour. Once you check the temp at 40 minutes, you will be able to guage time. Keep in mind, that once the rib hits 100 degrees, it will take only 5-10 minutes to get close to being done. The cooking speeds up from there.

One thing I do often is rub the rib with dijon mustard. Yummy!

So that’s it. Easy simple roast prime rib of beef. What else you want to see on the Christmas menu?

Leave me a comment. Prime Rib Roast coming up!

Lastly make sure that what ever kitchen knife sets you use, they are sharp and ready to slice.
