    It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without a traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner! The classic recipe for New England boiled dinner is usually cooked on the stove, but this is my favorite way to cook corned beef in the oven low and slow.

    Instant Pot corned beef is faster than slow cooker corned beef. But this Dutch oven corned beef and cabbage recipe is the best! Just add your ingredients to the pot, cook and add cabbage a few minutes before serving. So good!

    You can serve this delicious dinner with Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats or Lime Jello Poke Cake for dessert. And use leftover corned beef in a Reuben Casserole or Reuben sandwich!

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients to make this corned beef and cabbage recipe. They should be easy to find in your grocery store.

    • Corned beef brisket -- Look for a flat cut corned beef for easier slicing. It usually contains a spice packet with whole spices like dill seeds and mustard seeds for seasoning. You can use a point cut brisket if that's what you can find.
    • Green cabbage -- a small head of cabbage, cored and quartered
    • Carrots -- Whole carrots work best for cooking with corned beef. Peel and cut into large pieces
    • Baby Red Potatoes -- I love baby red potatoes because they cook with the brisket and turn out perfectly tender
    • Dijon mustard -- adds flavor
    • Beer -- I prefer a lighter beer, but you can use dark beer, like Guinness beer or Beef broth or water if you don't want to use beer

    You will also need a large pot or large Dutch oven for this recipe.

    How to Cook Corned Beef and Cabbage in the Oven

    First, remove the brisket from the package. Save the small seasoning packet. Then, rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt.

    Place the brisket with the layer of fat side up in the Dutch oven. Then, pour the beer around the brisket. If you are using water or broth, pour enough water to partially cover the brisket.

    Spread the mustard on top of the corned beef. Then, sprinkle the seasoning packet over the mustard.

    Add the cut carrots to the Dutch oven. Then, place the baby potatoes over the carrots.

    Place the lid on the Dutch oven, and place it on the stove.

    Cooking Time

    Bring the brisket to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then, turn the stove off, and place the Dutch oven in to a preheated oven.

    Cook covered for 3 hours. Check on the brisket a few times during the cooking process to make sure there is still enough liquid.

    Place cabbage wedges on top and cook for the last 15 minutes of the cooking process. When done, the brisket should be tender and easy to cut. The vegetables should be fork tender.

    How to Serve Corned Beef

    Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Then, place the brisket on a cutting board, and slice the corned beef brisket across the grain of the meat in thin slices for tender meat.

    Arrange the meat on a platter. Then place the cabbage, carrots and potatoes around the meat. Pour some of the cooking liquid over the meat, and add more to a small bowl to serve with dinner if desired.

    Serve corned beef with extra mustard or horseradish sauce and rye bread or soda bread and butter.

    How to Store

    Store leftover corned beef and vegetables in an airtight container in your refrigerator. It should keep fresh for 4 days.

    For longer storage, store leftovers in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.

    Recipe Variations

    If you want to use baby carrots or cut the potatoes and carrots into smaller pieces, add them in the last hour of cooking. We like our cabbage slightly tender. If you like it cooked more, add cabbage up to an hour before serving.

    You can use Yukon gold potatoes or baby yellow potatoes instead of red potatoes.

    Use water or beef broth instead of beer for the cooking liquid. Because this is a salty cut of meat, allow people to add salt and pepper when serving if needed.
