From the Test Kitchen

We’re tipping our hat to the Emerald Isle with this gourmet Irish-American fare. The corned beef and cabbage typically served on St. Patrick’s Day is actually a reinvented Irish dish, modified by immigrants to use local American ingredients. In our version, we’re serving steaks coated in a corned beef-inspired, custom blend of spices. (Corned beef refers to the “corns” of salt once used to preserve the meat, but the seasoning has evolved to include spices like coriander and crushed juniper berries.) With sides of braised cabbage and buttery red potatoes, this dish is a trans-Atlantic classic.

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

2 Braise the cabbage:

In a large pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the carrots and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cabbage has wilted. Stir in the vinegar, honey, mustard and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until very tender; remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
