Corned Beef Reuben With Savoy Cabbage Slaw Food

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE REUBEN

Steps:

• For the corned beef and cabbage: Pour the stock into a large 4-gallon stockpot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add the pickling spice, garlic, bay leaves and cloves. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the beef and cabbage simmer until tender, 3 hours. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the corned beef into thin slices against the grain. (This should yield around 30 slices.) Slice 2 wedges of the cabbage thinly.
• Butter 1 side of the bread slices and brown on a warm griddle or large nonstick pan. Top each bread slice with 1 slice of cheese, followed by Thousand Island dressing. Add beef slices to half the bread, and the cabbage to the remaining bread slices. Continuing browning the bread for 2 to 3 minutes, and then assemble the sandwiches. Warm the assembled sandwiches in the pan or a preheated 350 degrees F oven.

SAINT PADDY'S IRISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound until tender. Remove meat and let rest 15 minutes. Slice meat across the grain.
• Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and pour the dressing over it; toss to coat the cabbage with the dressing.
• Spread a layer of mustard on 6 slices of toasted bread. Place some shredded cabbage and corned beef on each slice and top with remaining slices of bread.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large, wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the lid, add the apple cider, and simmer until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy, an additional 10 minutes. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.
