I have posted my favorite corned beef and cabbage recipe in the past, but it’s so good that I’m posting again if some readers didn’t catch it the first time!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, cover beef with water. Boil for 5 minutes; discard water. Add water to cover meat, onion, carrot, and rosemary. Cover and simmer until meat is very tender when pierced, 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Lift out meat and keep warm on a platter. Bring stock to boiling. Add cabbage and cook, uncovered, until tender crisp when pierced. Lift out cabbage and arrange around meat. Reserve 1-3/4 cup stock for emerald sauce. Slice meat across the grain.
