Crnd Beef Dumplings W Cabbage Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Please note the FLAT CUTS of corned Beef are the best THEY ARE LEANER. They do not have all the fatty tissue usually attached to the POINT CUTS. SHOULD ALWAYS BE SLICED AGAINST THE GRAIN, TO AVOID BEING STRINGY.
• 2. I used 2 corned beef flats, because they do tend to shrink during cooking. The total weight before cooking was 6 1/2 pounds.
• 3. Add the flats to a large pot, add the seasoning packet and all the liquid from the package, as well as the seasoning spice packet. Then cover with water.
• 4. Place on stove over medium high heat, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam accumulation. Lower heat to a simmer and continue to cook for about 3 hours. Usually the time frame is about 50 minutes per pound. But because I had 2 pieces I chose to cook mine for a total of 3 hours, use your own judgement. Cook till meat is tender.
• 5. When meat is done, remove from pot, and place on a rack over a pan and bake in a preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, just to get a little color on the brisket.
• 6. You may need to pour off some of the liquid. Then add the onions and carrots, cook about5-7 minutes, and 2 bay leaves if desired, I chose not to add bay leaves, because of the seasoning in the brisket.
• 7. Wash and peel potatoes, and cut larger ones into smaller pieces.
• 8. Then shred or cut cabbage into wedges (your personal choice) shredded will not take as long to cook as it would if you make them into wedges.
• 9. Add both the potatoes & Cabbage & sweet peppers to pot, COVER and continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• 10. During THE LAST 5 MINUTES OR SO OF COOKING ADD THE LARGER OUTER cabbage LEAVES TO THE POT, THEN COVER AND CONTINUE TO COOK TILL GREENS TURN BRIGHT GREEN about 5 minutes. Then remove from pot and line serving platter with leaves.
• 11. With a slotted spoon I chose to remove all of the vegetables from the liquid.
• 12. Prepare the dumplings by adding all of the ingredients to a medium size bowl and stirring to bring dough together. Shape into a ball, and pinch of small amounts and roll into balls in desired sizes, using extra Bisquick as needed to prevent dumplings from sticking to hands, and lay on large platter till all are done. Drop into boiling liquid and cook for about 8-10 minutes with the lid on pot. BISQUICK DID NOT NEED 15 MINUTES AS SUGGESTED IN ORIGINAL RECIPE using self rising flour, although that is the amount of time what I used this time, next time I will cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until they rise to the top and are tender. Remove with slotted spoon and add chopped chive if desired.
• 13. Arrange vegetables and dumplings on lined platter. Slice Briskets using an electric knife for easier carving, and arrange on platter and serve with your favorite condiments. Horseradish, catsup or mustard. Your choice.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add meat, a few pieces at a time; toss to coat. , In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onions in oil until the meat is browned on all sides and onions are tender. Stir in the broth, water, vinegar, carrots and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until meat is almost tender. Discard bay leaves. , In a large bowl, beat egg; add the crumbs, flour, parsley, onion and seasonings. Stir in potatoes. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Dust with flour. Bring stew to a boil; drop dumplings onto stew. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes (do not lift cover). Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut potato slices with a 1 to 1 1/2-inch circle cutter and soak in water to remove starch. Place on a rack placed over a shallow pan of water. Steam to al dente and set aside to cool. Using a melon baller (ball scoop) scoop out a recess in each disk.
• Cook bacon and remove to paper towels to drain. Pour most of the bacon fat from the pan and add butter over medium heat. Add cabbage and season with black pepper. Cook until it begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in corned beef, and crumble in bacon. Cook together for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to integrate, remove from heat and stir in horseradish.
• To begin the sauce: Combine the milk, onion, bay leaf, cloves, and nutmeg over medium heat. Spoon the melted butter into a separate heat resistant bowl and whisk in the cornstarch, then whisk in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, reserving the rest. When the milk is fairly hot, pour a small amount of it into the cheese mixture, stirring until the milk is thoroughly blended in. Return this to the remaining milk, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat, season sauce to taste, with white pepper, and salt if needed. Remove and discard bay leaf and cloves. Immediately put a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Stir enough of the sauce and reserved Parmesan into the corned beef/cabbage mixture to bind into a thick mixture. Spoon the mixture onto prepared potato disks, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place on a baking sheet. Flash finish in oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes (monitor to make sure they don't burn). Sprinkle with chives and serve.
