I don't need to tell you how to make corned beef and cabbage...

Mar 10, 2008 20:24

...do I?

I didn't think so--my friends list is clever enough to know how to throw a hunk of meat and some veggies into a pot and make a meal out of it.

( But I took some pictures of how I did it, and thought I'd share... )

I should have taken pictures of the roast I cooked this weekend.

One of these days, you'll pick up your camera before you even open the refrigerator door, and soon it'll become second nature!

This roast fell apart and the onions disintigrated, so I put it on crackers

How long did you cook it?

Looks so great! I don't think I can make corned beef that way though. What do you do with the fat layer? My friend taught me to boil then broil. On the lower oven rack fat side up, just until the smoke alarm comes on. It is so yummy! And no. I refuse to get my cholesteral checked until - around July or August.

I didn't do anything with it--it just melted into the meat when I boiled it fat side up!

It cooked for three hours--between the meat and the broth, there was no visible fat to be found.

On the mustard, my dd brought a jar home from Ireland and it was heaven. Since then I have found a whole grain mustard at our market that is good too. Nothing like popping those little balls of mustardy flavor.

This is actually a mustard I mixed up myself.

One jar whole grain Dijon
2 tablespoons regular Dijon
2 tablespoons Guinness stout
1 tsp to 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Just whisked up together....

It is DEEEE-lish!

Ahah so that is where your 2 Tbsp of stout went. Thanks for the recipe! I will be trying it. My little one dragged out all the jars of mustard out of the refridgerator a few weeks ago and laughed at me. I guess I like mustard too much. Guinness isn't so bad either!

ok I guess it must be spelled refrigerator. I blame it on my mother who always called it the refridge. Drove my husband crazy. Apparently me too. Or maybe it is the fever.
