Treat yourself to these corned beef recipes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with traditional Irish food

Corned beef is a St. Patrick’s Day staple.

When the Irish emigrated to the United States, corned beef was a cheap meat that they could easily enjoy — which, according to the Irish Central, was not the case in Ireland. It quickly became a popular meal among the Irish in America.

Irish-Americans and revelers enjoy corned beef and cabbage every year on St. Patrick’s Day.

1. Classic Corned Beef and Cabbage

This recipe comes from Chef Alex Reitz, recipe developer for Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner” via Fox News Digital.

This easy to assemble corned beef and cabbage dish is a classic twist on traditional Irish cooking.

Ingredients:

• 1 corned beef brisket (2½ pounds)
• 5 cups water, divided
• 1 medium head of cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into wedges
• 8 ounce Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 8 wedges
• 8 ounces carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the corned beef in a large stockpot or Dutch oven, fat side up, with 3 cups of water. Once the water is simmering, cover and cook in the oven at 350 F for about 2 ½ to 3 hours.
2. Place your brisket on a cutting board and reserve any excess liquid in the stock pot. Cover the meat with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. While waiting, add two cups of water to the soup pot with the liquid. Place the steamer basket in the soup pot and place the cabbage, potatoes and carrots in the basket. Once it boils, you need to cover it, reduce the heat and let the vegetables steam for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. If you like, remove the fat from the breasts, then slice them thinly. In a small bowl, mix butter, salt and pepper. Pour butter over the vegetables and serve.

2. Homemade Corned Beef with Dill Cabbage

If you’re looking for a twist on a classic recipe, Reitz also shared a recipe using fresh dill.

Ingredients:

• 1 corned beef brisket (2 ½ to 3 ½ pounds)
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

For dill cabbage:

• 1 medium head of cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into 8 wedges
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
• 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350 F. Add corned beef brisket and 2 cups water to Dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Then cover and cook in the oven at 350°F for 2½ to 3½ hours or until fork tender.
2. With about 20 minutes left for the brisket, begin steaming the cabbage. Steam the cabbage for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
3. Remove the brisket from the water and trim off the fat. Place the meat on a rack in a grill pan so the beef is only about three to four inches from the heat. In a small bowl, combine honey and 1 tablespoon mustard. Spread half of this glaze onto the brisket and grill for three minutes. Then brush on the other half of the glaze and grill for another two minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine butter, 1 tablespoon mustard, and dill. Spread this on the cabbage.
5. Carve the breast and serve with the cabbage.

directions:

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper to the pan. Cook for about three minutes.
