Dutch Oven Corned Beef
Super easy
Cheap

For Dutch Oven Corned Beef, you'll need a flat cut or point cut brisket. The flat cut is easier to slice, and the point cut has more fat which makes it better for shredding.

The photos show a point cut brisket, because it was the only cut available. But, flat cut is usually easy to find, and either one works well in this recipe.

A spice packet comes with the beef, but I like to add steak seasoning for an extra layer of flavor. Some people add brown sugar, but doing so will make your veggies sweet. If you don't have a spice packet with your brisket, you can use pickling spices.

You'll also need a couple of bottles of dark beer, water or beef stock, onions, carrots, red potatoes and a head of cabbage to make this delicious one pot meal.

Dutch Oven Corned Beef Directions

  1. Cooking Dutch Oven Corned Beef is so easy! All you do is add onion wedges to the bottom of the dutch oven, (ad) then arrange the corned beef brisket on top of the onions. Be sure to rinse and pat dry the brisket before putting in the pot.
  2. Sprinkle the brisket with spices, then pour dark beer (Guinness), beef stock, or water into the pot until it reaches the top of the meat.
  3. I like to start with a 350 degree oven to get things rolling for an hour, then reduce the heat to 300 degrees for 2 more hours. Turn the brisket over, then add carrots and potatoes to the pot and sprinkle with more steak seasoning.
  4. Cook for another hour, then add cabbage and cook one hour more. That's a total of 5 hours of low and slow cooking for tender, corned beef bliss!

Notes

RECIPE FAQS

  • How can you tell if the corned beef is done? If you stick a fork in it and the meat falls apart, that's how you know the corned beef is done and considered to be 'fork tender.' Using the low and slow method for at least 5 hours also guarantees doneness.
  • Can this recipe be made without beer? Sure! Just substitute beef or vegetable broth. But, if you do use beer, make sure it's a dark variety like Guinness. It adds richness and flavor that's unbelievable!
  • Can corned beef be cooked in a crock pot? It can, but I've tried it and I like the cast iron dutch oven method better. If you do try a crock pot, make sure you cook it at least 10 hours on low for best results. wooden spoon sitting over a baking dish with corned beef and cabbage.

SERVING TIPS

  • Make sure to slice the meat against the grain. To do this, lay the meat on a cutting board and look at which direction the grain is going. Move the cutting board around until the meat's fibers are going in a vertical direction. Then, cut across the brisket horizontally. This actually helps the meat be 'fork tender'.
  • Serve corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots in individual bowls with a side of spicy mustard. Drizzle some of the juice over the meat. It's a delicious one-pot meal!
  • Leftovers are perfect for making sandwiches the next day. Create a grilled Reuben with corned beef slices, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and swiss cheese on pumpernickel bread!
