How To Make twisted corned beef dinner

  • Step 1
    Rinse the meat under cold water to remove the extra salt solution.
  • Step 2
    Place all the ingredients for the meat (including seasoning packet) in a large dutch oven or soup pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 4 hours.
  • Step 3
    After 4 hours, add carrots, onion, potatoes and cabbage and cook an additional 20-30 minutes covered.
  • Step 4
    Remove cabbage and set in a serving dish. Check the carrots and potatoes for tenderness. Cook, covered, until fork tender, if not already done.
  • Step 5
    Meanwhile, mix the flour and water until it looks milky.
  • Step 6
    Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove 2 cups of cooking liquid from the corned beef and strain into pan. Stir or whisk in the flour mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Step 7
    When veggies are tender, place them in individual serving dishes. Remove the meat to a serving plate and slice as you please.
  • Step 8
    ****************************************************** Another thing I like to do sometimes is mash the potatoes. For that I usually throw in about 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion, a little of the cooking liquid and half a block of cream cheese, and beat with my mixer 'til its not lumpy.
  • Step 9
    For the glaze: Mix mustard and marmalade together.
  • Step 10
    Set brisket on broiler pan in oven about 4-5 inches from broiler.
  • Step 11
    Broil for 3-5 minutes or until glaze starts bubbling and turning brown.
