Ingredients
- Corned beef brisket
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat it dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Shred the cabbage into thin strips and set aside in a large bowl. Slice the onion into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the corned beef brisket to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the brisket is tender. You can check the tenderness by inserting a fork; it should easily pierce the meat.
- While the brisket is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the onions and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Next, add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the cabbage for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Once the corned beef is done cooking, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices.
- To serve, place a generous portion of the stir-fried cabbage on each plate and top it with slices of corned beef brisket. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Rinse the corned beef thoroughly to remove excess brine and prevent an overly salty taste.
- Always slice the brisket against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Don't overcook the cabbage—aim for a slight crunch to maintain its texture and nutritional value.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for perfect doneness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or apple cider vinegar to the cabbage while stir-frying.
- Let the corned beef rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to help the juices redistribute, ensuring a moister meat.
- If you prefer a more tender cabbage, you can cover the skillet while cooking to steam it slightly.
