Corned Beef and Cabbage - St. Patricks Meal

[Paulpunkrocks]

So it'll be 40 min/pd corned beef in his recipe + 30 min for potatoes + 20 min for cabbage

[riazorblue]

What was in that little packet of spices he chucked in??

[GAYPRIDE1985]

@riazorblue its the packet of spices that comes with all corned beefs you buy in the store.

[Paulpunkrocks]

@riazorblue comes with the corned beef usually when you buy it in the market

[mleclerc27]

@rasoros- really? Who gives a shit! Nobody likes a know it all! Great recipe! Put it in my list of favorites! ( i could give a rats ass who invented it)

[rasoros]

Actually this dish originated in Hungary but Irish gypsies stole the recipe and have falsely claimed for centuries that it was theirs.

[dLimboStick]

@rasoros Irish gypsies? Yeah right.

[ashline1974]

My boyfriends favorite. I have to make this soon. Now I'm really hungry.

[MisterNick8511]

Man this shit looks so good, I ain't waitin for St. Patty's day. We havin this for thanksgiving! Thanks Jon

[keith746n]

if your drunk.....your the man John!

[Flamorgan]

This is an American meal and nothing to do with Ireland or St. Patrick

[sweetiestgirl]

@Flamorgan My fiance is from Ireland and he requests this dish all the time...

[Flamorgan]

@sweetiestgirl Best tell him to go to Argentina cos it certainly aint Irish

[powitskim]

@Flamorgan... think he said that at the end, but thanks for the clarification!

[yiiii1]

ahaha '1/8's which if you're drunk is 1/4's cut in half'

can you make all your measurements like that?

[EJL2004]

Looks to be the boiled dinner we had ever sunday on the Tugboat I worked on. Ah New Foundlanders.. Le Creuset cookery! One day it shall be mine!!! ... this comment is +1 bottle of wine. ... why am I still here.

[greenghost2008]

So yeah I got somecorn beef out of a can and it look gross. There is white stuff in it.

[Akirabone]

@greenghost2008 thats beef fats -__-

[Moc870]

we all that bacon in ireland

[agamattmax]

@arcades687 no need to use f word however i understand simplicity of your brain lol Jim Wilson who?? corned beef was eaten by our nation long before your country was created dude---- read a little more and then call me names--- I dont know which Jim Wilson you are talking about but I bet he was in some part Irish:))) like most of you there:P and by the way I bet you call St. Patric day an AMERICAN holiday day :D

[Ostrasize]

@arcades687 Your comment made me LOL. I was originally going to call you ignorant but I then read the other comment. He deserved it.

[gunitinug]

Let me herr you say yerr let me hear you say yerr

[WackyZacky1000]

AHHH! This reminds me of my Grandmother from Asheville home cooking, she is french, Irish, and english. BEST COOK EVER!

[good2zappa88]

Put about a cup of pickle juice in the water and smells great.

[gunitinug]

Corned mcbeef combo

[CoolVIguy]

Excellent :)

[ClearwaterMMA]

Take out the Potato and Carrots and it's low Glycemic /Low carb

[Gracian40]

WOW!

[787310]

cabbage branch bagel rub

[agamattmax]

man this is typical irish dish so forget about american corned beef with cabbage lol are you from the moon like the rest of you americans??? all you have (no offend) IS MACDONALDS AND THE REST OF THE SHIET LOL --- DO THE IRISH CADDLE and speak to me baby but please dont call the corned beef the american dish ------- its simply stupid lol

[Larm2112]

I can't watch this without drooling everywhere.

[NJBeemaster]

I like tripling the pickling spice and using the onions "PEEL and all" for a deeper SAFRON-LIKE broth. Cover and BAKE not stove top, by Dutch-ovening it around 350f it sucks in the flavors so much better.

The most iportant cooking clude is that when you remove the beef, wrap it tight in aluminum foil and into a heat resistant bag for about 20 minutes to rest WITHOUT vaporating any juices - that prevents and stringiness

[funzzoh]

i think i had curry chips for dinner on paddy's day. And i live in dublin =/ everyone my age is totally buckled before lunch on the town never mind a family dinner at home O_o

[DrPepper1785]

this is awesome!!!

[witchman1]

Nicely done, chef!

[ein08by]

yes, anything, from anywhere, better in america. !!

[BabydollCharity]

Magically delicious!!!! Wish I could have made it again this year. Hoping someones will bring it over for my birthday today (the 18th). And I LOVE, that he includes the drunks... lmao.

[barkpeeler2000]

what would i do without you, chef john

[actigene2]

my kinda dish. impossible screw up. cheers!

[stigmatic79]

great recipe and video tutorial now all thats left to do is go out and get the good ole irish grub as my family likes to call it :)

[shaynemcallister]

@kadensgrandpa08 I was going to ask the same thing. From looking at it though, it looks like a lot of coriander seed and bay leaves, and maybe some allspice? Chef John help!

[mymovienerd]

The Irish make bacon and cabbage for St. Patty's day.

[mesa134]

which if your drunk thats quarters cut in half! howd u guess im drunk XD

[delboy240970]

once more for those in doubt....corned beef is a purely Irish/English creation...and the name comes from "corns of salt"...hence corned....its origins date back to 800AD in cork....and cork was the highest exporter of corned beef to the US until late 1800s.......check your facts people...its most offensive when you bastardise a dish and claim its conception to be purely American.

[mom4aaa]

stop it im drolling!!!!!!!! making it now in the pressure we shall see how that turns out!!

[music77ify]

looks great...but i like boobs

[gold123bucket]

Looks like you forgot to take the diaper off the bottom of the corned beef when you put it in the pot!!!!

[afghanibolt]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I want some cored beef and cabbage right now!! Sooo goood!

[007bondjb]

Yumm Boy

[lslavychecker]

MI KUHAMO TO VECKRAT NA LETO NE SAMO ZA ST.PATRIC DAN.....MMMMMM.....

[SkullStep]

I bet he was drunk doing this....

[stephenjackson1]

agreed this guy rocks. he should totally have his own show. thanks food wishes! :D

[Daemonocracy]

I love corned beef. I make it for Christmas and even have some in addition to Ham and Turkey during thanksgiving meals (not a big Turkey fan at all). After the initial "corned beef for Christmas?" reaction, once they bite into it they conclude "yes, corned beef for every Christmas!"

[doomonucharlie]

This is my favorite food of all time!!

[silvercataphractarii]

its not the official recipe for St Patricks day, its not even Irish FFS

[SugarSigur]

I like my veggies SUPER tender, and my stove sucks so I make mine in a roasting pan in the oven with the veggies in as long as the meat. the veggies soak up most of what water doesn't evaporate and the fat on the brisket cooks into them making them taste really yummy. I keep the water to pour on top of everything while serving and what's left I freeze for soup.

[thenikki0927]

one of my most favorite meals of all time. i am making this today! yummy!!

[MRTUBE1224]

Where is the beer??????

[steviebrit1]

This dish IS an original IRISH recipe not made in America as the commentator incorrectly states.It was eaten long before it hit American shore's, the Irish settlers in fact took the recipe with them.

[delboy240970]

@steviebrit1 here here....as a chef of twenty five years exp.....and having worked extensively in Ireland....it is most definately a traditional irish dish

[silvercataphractarii]

@delboy240970 No Corned beef is is not Irish, its a Jewish american creation. Its not used in any Irish recipes at all.

[staling2010]

Could you use a pressure cooker?

[LEIRMA]

yummy

[filmsmetanoia]

Always loved corned beef and cabbage. One of my favorire meals. Haven't had it for a while. Think i'll cook it during the middle of the week. Thanks for the recipe.

[tooHighandDry]

great meal for the winter months coming up :)

[313HealthyMe]

Love this recipe. Thanks for sharing

[bill984984]

Everytime I eat cabbage my wife makes me sleep on the couch. :(

[mem7048]

"Which if you're drunk!" ROFLMAO!!

[molleywood]

Can you use corn beef brisket and what are those spices? Thank you

[SugarSigur]

@molleywood the corned beef brisket in the package comes with a little spice packet...that's what the spices are in the vid from the looks of it.

[Petis333]

Making this tonight! Labour day classic!

[proudtobedubliner]

@Petis333 mate.piss off.i bet ur making about twenty of these tonight u fat american prick.and mate by the way your writing and spelling i would probably think your not far from dislacsic

[JoyeuseXI]

@proudtobedubliner Yet you ironically, have the bad grammar, and spelling.

[fassay]

@JoyeuseXI You mean: Yet you, ironically, have the bad grammer and spelling. The word 'ironically' breaks up the sentence, so it needs commas or both before and after it. The word ',ironically,' could be removed from the sentence without losing the meaning. ps School House Rock teaches proper grammer and is 100% american. @ladyof war1980 I like the idea of black irish feast.YUM!

[kellyflute]

@fassay And, ironically, you can't spell grammar! lol

[islandsylph]

@JoyeuseXI I noticed that too. ha ha.

[cathyeire]

In Ireland we used Bacon and Cabbage but Corned beef and cabbage became popular in US after Irish immigrants in the east used corned beef instead of pork in their traditional dish...so the idea for the dish did come from the Irish ---and here the meat is cooked first-took out and then the cabbage is cooked in the juice of the meat.for over cooked meat spoils the dish.& your lil trick on how to cut the meat-oh come on lol--just cut it whatever way as it all goes down the same way anyways ..

[LadyofWar1980]

My momma used to make this for my dad. One of his favorite meals and mine too! I cook white rice and cornbread as sides and call it "My Black Irish Feast".

[8888Eastman]

Im sure that is succulent

[Trashfished]

Now Im HONGREY!

[BWDrayttt]

What kind of corned beef is this ? Cause here in Belgium the only sort of corned-beef you can find is the canned and pre-cooked one and salted. So if I want to do this recipe, what kind of meat do I have to use, and how to prepare it ? thanks !

[omgtehcolors]

hmm, when i make it, i make the cabbage seperately with butter, salt and a secret seed. :D and i don't cut against the grain, i just cut giant strips.

[omgtehcolors]

this is my very favorite meal. :) the irish in me. i eat it like, monthly.

[nasurdan]

this is by far the best meal I've ever had the pleasure of eating.

[JDBlessin]

No vinegar in the recipe?

[DeAnDiStRuCtAbLe]

haha yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alistairdonald]

Harp??. Its a good Nothern Irish beer.. For God and Ulster lol

[40ozAficionado]

Corned beef is my favorite meal. The first time I watched this I appreciated the good recipe. The second time, I laughed my ass off at the comedy, I was not expecting that. Superb mean and great comedy. I am greatful to be alive.

[DOKBRI]

One of my favorite dishes

[corvettered]

"If you're drunk, that's quarters cut in half". LOL

[tarynhamburger]

Such a useful video - thank you!

[AncientBoneCrusher]

nice crueset

[sabbathman3]

Add a stick of good pepperoni to it and it gives it such a great flavor!!

[IWannaKnow2009]

is that enough time for the cabbage to get soft,cause i dont like it semi hard,only soft

[sti4lifer]

bahahaha

[1kperday]

Thanks for not overcooking the cabbage. In my experience most people who say they hate cabbage have never had it cooked properly.

[shaycoiee1]

almost perfect but I use chicken stock and garlic and I add beans makes more like a stew

[stinkeye2u]

I love making corned beef in my dutch oven. My special incredient is half a jar of trappeys tabasco peppers in vinegar. It gives the corned beef and cabbage extra zing!!

[40ozAficionado]

@stinkeye2u Regardless of anything, you are a very sexy person.

[LovingPinkLibra]

A recipe you can cook drunk! lol Too funny! lol Food always taste better when its made with Love & Laughter, thanks for that! :o)

[57ofspades]

this guy is real cool. I love how he always refers to drinking beer while cooking!

[DanceSexy101]

Magically delicious, lol...I love this guy!

[DanceSexy101]

What a terrific how to! Simply instructions and makes you laugh too. This was perfect. I don't know if I like cooked cabbage just remember when my parents cooked it, it smelled funky. Looks prettier though than the ones where they cook it to death. THANKS~

[macchef01]

in fact it's called a Newengland boil. I love it. We like to do it with Hamhocks and Spareribs. also I like a little vinegar on my gabage. so good. prolly gonna make it tonight. :) happy eating

[Kabukihomewood]

My grandma Betty used to make this every summer and it is one of my fondest food memories from her . . . never made it myself, but now I will!

[kingocarina]

I hate it when people cook the cabbage like that

I prefer it to be fried with a pound of butter in a pan.. plain, simple, awesome

[dropandlongD]

i love the way you talk and how you make cooking look so easy hahah

[CatNipSmoker]

"If you're drunk, that's quarters cut in half." Hahah

[Darkshadowside]

thats a good dish

[maluch]

im adding this to my favorites and making it sometime this week or weekend for sure!!!!

[andrewtheone7]

corn beef and rice :)

[xolesa]

@andrewtheone7 you must be filipino.... or some sort of asian. Just the way i grew up :)

[andrewtheone7]

i am half filo haha

[theglenlivet12]

Best video for this by far

[ppshchik]

are you supposed to trim the fat RAW since the fat will ruin the vegetables..?

[cassheng]

wot??? anyway.. i hc been following and cook it last week.. notin to do w grammer here.. :!

[cassheng]

anyways,,, i cnt find corned beef in the supermarket.. so i bought a chunck of beef tats looks similar. im trying tis 2day.

tot corned beef is canned!!??

[wilddutch]

Do you mean"can't',and"that",and "chunk",I'm,and "this"?

[Mlongrie1]

I use less water to braise, add 2-3 tablespoons of diced, skinned, tomato. And thicken a bit more with a beurre manie.

The dish needs acid to cut through the fat and the tomato delivers.

[hitman12]

gimme gimme gimme i need!

[strider06]

"ok so here we go

i got four and a half

thats a big one!"

[yennster57]

I loooove corned beef. I only get it once a year though... St. Patrick's Day... *sigh*

[kriston55]

Excellent

[rarebirdco]

why do people feel like they should critique. this is a great way to make corned b

[rarebirdco]

eef and cabbage. good job on simplicity and direction. keep up the good work

[Brickface84]

Great recipe! just cooked it up for the second time. Just a lil hint......... add 12oz of your fav beer. Gives it an awesome taste to the veggies.

[tightvers2]

BTW Irish and Corned Beef is rather a North-American Irish decent dish.... The Irish would have genuine Atlantic Salmon for St.-Patrick

[ChromeDrome]

I'm not Irish (I'm French & Italian) but In Ireland they don't make corn beef and cabbage on St.Patties day they make potatoes and this other type of food,I think it was a meat.

[foofan38]

I turned 21 on St Patties day last week, and I cooked this when I was drunk. It was awesome, from what I can remember.

Thanks, Chef John!

[b33p]

Hey dude, great video as usual. Happy (belated) St Patrick's Day from Ireland :D

[jcooper43]

Chef John = Greatest....should have a TV show. I'd actually buy cable to watch him

[bgmorse]

Me too!

..."Because it's a recipe you can cook drunk" Great!

[decimaquinta69]

Ottimo

[teflonmagnet]

thanks, chef john, this is nearly idiot -proof.

[KLA551K]

to much water...

[Bistro223]

I probably would have added a beef stock with water instead of all water.

[SugarSigur]

@Bistro223 you can add whatever you like but since brisket is so fatty and the meat is marinated in the corning brine/spices, it isn't really necessary. It will still come out flavorful as can be.

[magistr88]

Hey, I'm an Italian living in Texas and I still celebrate St. Pat's. This guy knows what he's talking about when he mentions drinking Guiness!

[magistr88]

Don't forget the soda bread (even if you have to make it yourself like I did)!! It's not really St. Pat's without it.

[KRISTRIP14]

irish pride

[randomhero20022]

great stuff, love the commentary in this one

[omarden208]

I'm going to cook this on Tuesday, exactly the way you did it. thanks for showing.

I'm glad I found your site.

[iBook3503332]

coffee cake muffins

[poonpappy]

Hey Chef John, This might be the beer talking, but you friggen ROCK. Once again another solid recipe. I've been eating like a king, and finally got into opera (that Bocelli has some pipes). If your still taking requests, any chance of you frying up some Halushki?

Thanks Chef

[tninaf]

mmm... can't wait.

[fjcnlr]

I put my corned been in a covered roasting pan and cook it at 300 degrees for an hour a pound.

You can add onions.

Later, just boil up some cabbage and carrots and little red potatoes.

IF you want to add the carrots to the roasting pan, you can do so and the potatoes as well. It might be too greasey for some of you tho.

The corned beef is done when it falls apart with a fork...at least that's the way we like it.

[kotk05]

so do I cut up the whole thing and throw the rest of the pieces back in the pot or is it best to leave it whole and slice when someone gets seconds?

I'm gonna have some white rice with this dish.

[magistr88]

Are you from Louisiana by any chance? I used to live in Lousiana (my family still does) and they eat everything with rice there! Mmmm, tasty.

[kotk05]

Naw, I'm half Filipino and most Filipinos eat rice with almost anything. =)

[appppppppple]

even with their fried bananas

[UntoldSecrets1]

filipinos do :D pinoy pride

[staling2010]

@kotk05 So true. If you limit the spices of this dish to black pepper corns, salt or better yet, fish sauce with lemon and add sweet plantains, you would have what FIlipinos call Nilagang Baka. Man, it's good!

[iabbervocium]

Mmmmm I just love corned beef, I can't wait to have this on Tuesday

[rlwalker2]

Definitely making this dinner. One of my (few) traditions. Also making a loaf of soda bread with some dark wheat and yeast ... yeah ... I cheat.

[regamom3]

Mmmm....

I'll use your recipe on Tuesday, thanks!!!

[mongorich]

Great suggestion. I'm gonna get lit and make me some corned beef! Mmmmm....corn........aughhhh..­.....

[mongorich]

another good video, by the way, Chef John!

[mongorich]

like "peppercorns"!

[mongorich]

corned beef is cured in salt, using big, pebble-sized "corns" of salt.

[condocity666]

anyone heard of cooking the corned beef in beer or is this just an old alcoholic's tale?

[lothy59]

made my mouth water..damn that looked good...thanks for posting

[peterrabbit31]

this looks great. thanks for your videos. i love them.

[sithioth]

Mmmmm sounds tasty!

[I1Dont2Care3]

ahhhh!!! i live in italy now for almost 2 years. that's 2 years without this!! i loved how my mom and grandma would make it. i can't find good corned beef and i can't find the seasonings for it. :( it makes me sad. lol thanks for sharing though :)

[JaYnEsAyZ]

my family loves cabbage. this looks really good and easy to make- if you have any more cabbage recipes pls post! btw when making cabbage by itself how do u season yours? we usually use bacon -salt & pepper-boiled potatoes on the side

[RadhaGirl]

what the heck is a corned beef? what does corn have to do with it?

>:(

[mct0818]

Etymologically, the word "corn" originally meant something like "small grain or pebble". We call the vegetable corn, "corn", because the kernels look like small pebbles. ON the other hand, the original act of "corning" beef in the old days would be to pack it in salt. In this sense, the word "corn" refers to the grains of salt. Nowadays, I think corn beef is usually brined, not packed in salt the way country ham is.

[cooliqra]

"Invented in America" Yeah right >> Americans says the that everything is from America.. >> You guys just think a little to much of your self..

[mct0818]

Not hardly, but there are a lot of foods that originated here (the US) due to the mixing of cultures. Quite contrary to what you might believe, Americans tend to think that what we eat in Italian, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants is "authentic". Wrong!

[steviebboy69]

sounds nice geez if i had a 6 pack of guiness i would be out of it. i get pissed on fumes. 1 glass of wine and i am on my way.

this sounded nice. nice to have on a cold day. with guiness or wine.

[itpaystobeme]

Nice transistion 1:47-1:49

[itpaystobeme]

I can't wait to get drunk on that day!!!

[bluvslou]

haha its us english people with the drink problem north east hhahaa

[foodwishes]

Excerpt from my post blog today: "...I actually think it's terribly unfair that so many people believe the stereotype that all Irish people are heavy drinkers. It's just not true - I know hundreds of Irish folks, and several of them don't have a drinking problem." ;-)

[CloudDouche]

hehe, but america sucks ^_^

[proudtobedubliner]

@foodwishes mate we dont have a drinking problem.ye i like to go out with me mates and have a few but im not a serious drinker.and btw we dont eat patatoes for our breakfast either.and there doesnt be leprchuans running aroud everywhere.and if ye think we eat this all the time then your mistaken coz you couldnt pay me to eat this shit.i would rather a chipper or a chinese anyday

[1happiness]

I love healthy meals!!

[queenfee]

Yummy looking as always!

[theclassicpenguin]

You are the master!!

[srflamenco]

yuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyy
