Healthy Steamed Corned Beef Cabbage Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cabbage in half; remove the hard stem; cut again into quarters; finely shred the cabbage, although some pieces could be larger...it adds to the recipe to have some soft, and some slightly crispy.
• 2. Heat your wok, or large, deep fry pan over medium high heat; Add the oil.
• 3. As soon as the oil glistens, lightly saute the onions until just about till soft; add the garlic (Do not let it get too brown!) Reduce burner heat to medium.
• 4. Add the corned beef as you take it with a fork out of the can; Stir to break up the pieces coming out of the can, and stir until it is getting soft, and slightly brown.
• 5. At this point, you may need to add more oil to the wok or pan as all canned corned beef is not the same. You want some oil in the pan when you add the cabbage.
• 6. Practice your stir fry skills and toss and stir the cabbage lightly and often for the first 3 minutes. You want to spread the corned beef, and onions into the cabbage.
• 7. Cover for about 8 minutes; check to see if cabbage is getting soft and cover the pan again if it is still hard crisp, about another 3-4 minutes depending on the size of the cabbage and your wok & stove.
• 8. When you see cabbage getting soft, stir again several times. You want to have a bit of crisp left to some of the cabbage, and some soft.
• 9. Serve over steamed rice, with Shoyu (soy sauce), and enjoy.

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 or until tender.
• Add whole potatoes and carrots, and cook until the vegetables are almost tender. Add cabbage and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove meat and let rest 15 minutes.
• Place vegetables in a bowl and cover. Add as much broth (cooking liquid reserved in the Dutch oven or large pot) as you want. Slice meat across the grain.

Steps:

• Combine all the brine ingredients, except the brisket, in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the brisket (you may have to cut it into 2 pieces) and rub the spice mix into the meat. Pour cold water over until the meat is covered. Weight the brisket down with a small plate so that it is completely submerged; cover and refrigerate. The meat can be brined overnight or as long as 10 days. The longer the brining the more pickled the meat.
• Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, marjoram, and bay leaves and cook until starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the brine and rinse it well. Set the meat on top of the vegetables and add water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil skimming any foam that surfaces. Reduce the heat to a simmer, place the lid on the pot, and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cabbage pieces, cover, and put it into the oven; cook for 3 hours.
• Remove the meat, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes. Cut the fat off the corned beef, slice the meat against the grain, and serve it in shallow bowls with the cabbage wedges, some cooking liquid, and the Herbed Root Vegetables.
• Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
• To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.
