This traditional Irish dish is easy to prepare any day of the year … but especially on St. Paddy’s Day.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Remove corned beef from packaging and place in an oven-proof pan. Add 1” of water to the pan. For a more robust flavor, add desired amount of enclosed spice packet to water. Tightly seal the pan with a lid or foil.
Place the pan into the oven.
After cooking for 2 hours, add the cabbage, 1 small onion, 6 medium carrots, and three potatoes (cut in halves) to the pan. Return the pan to the oven.
Cook for approximately 2.5 – 3 hours or until firmly fork tender. Internal temperature should be at least 160°F for food safety; for optimal tenderness, cook to an internal temperature of 190°F.
Remove just the meat to a warm platter and cover with aluminum foil. Let the corned beef rest for 5–10 minutes.
If the vegetables are not yet fork tender, return them to the oven and cook until done.
Slice meat thinly across the grain and serve with vegetables for a complete and hearty meal.
