A warm, hearty stew featuring tender corned beef, sweet carrots, soft potatoes, and silky cabbage in a rich, savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds corned beef brisket, spice packet included
  • 1 tablespoon oil or butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1.5 pounds small red or gold potatoes, halved
  • 1 small green cabbage (about 1.5–2 pounds), cored and cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1–2 cups water, as needed to cover
  • 1 cup stout or dark beer (optional; use more broth if not using beer)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for body)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard
  • 1–2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or malt vinegar, to finish
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef to remove extra brine. Pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes (or leave whole to shred later).
  2. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Brown the beef in batches and remove to a plate.
  3. Add onion, celery, and carrots to the pot, cooking for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in beer (if using) and scrape up browned bits.
  5. Add beef (and any juices), spice packet, bay leaves, broth, and enough water to barely cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 60–75 minutes until tender.
  6. Stir in potatoes and simmer for 12–15 minutes.
  7. Add cabbage on top and simmer for 10–15 minutes more until tender but not mushy.
  8. Stir in mustard and vinegar, adjust seasoning, remove bay leaves, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

This stew can be made on the stove, in a slow cooker, or in a pressure cooker. It freezes well for future easy dinners.
