SLOW COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, carrots, onions, celery and thyme in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Put the brisket on top of the vegetables and add the beer and pickling spice. Add enough water to just cover the brisket. Cover and cook on low until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 8 hours.
• Arrange the cabbage over the brisket (it's OK if the cooker seems crowded), cover and cook until soft and wilted, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.
• Whisk together the sour cream, horseradish and mustard in a small bowl.
• Remove the cabbage and toss with 1 tablespoon of the butter and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Remove the meat and let rest. Strain the remaining vegetables (reserve some of the cooking broth to serve on the side if you like) and toss with the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables, horseradish sauce and broth if using.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Unwrap the brisket and place it fat-side up in a large baking dish. If the brisket came with a spice packet, sprinkle it over the top, then sprinkle on 3 tablespoons pepper and rub it in. Cover the dish with heavy-duty foil and bake for two and a half hours, then uncover and continue baking until the brisket is very, very tender (almost falling apart!) and a fork inserted into the meat goes in easily, about 1 more hour. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• While the brisket is resting, make the balsamic reduction for the cabbage: Stir the balsamic vinegar with the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds and thick like syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Make the cabbage: Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges. Working in two batches if necessary, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and sear on both cut sides until the cabbage gets as much color as possible, about 1 minute per side. Use a spatula to transfer the cabbage to a rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the Guinness into the bottom of the pan, then carefully transfer to the oven. Bake the cabbage until tender and deep brown, about 20 minutes.
• Slice the corned beef and place it on a platter with the cabbage. Spoon the balsamic reduction all over the cabbage.

SLOW-COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, garlic and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth and tie tightly with butcher's twine to make a sachet. Put the corned beef in a slow cooker and pour enough water over it until just submerged (2 to 3 quarts). Add the sachet and brown sugar and cook until the meat is just tender, 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
• Two hours (on low) or 1 hour (on high) before the corned beef is done, add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage on top of the meat, making sure the veggies are submerged. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender; if the beef is fork-tender and fully cooked but the vegetables still need time, remove the beef and tent with foil, then continue to cook the veggies until tender.
• Transfer the veggies to a bowl using a spider or slotted spoon and immediately toss with the rice wine vinegar.
• Slice the corned beef and plate with an assortment of the veggies and some Horseradish Mustard. Garnish with the chives.
• Combine the mustard, horseradish and brown sugar in a medium bowl and mix together until blended. Add more horseradish for extra burn!
