I always cook extra corned beef on st Patrick's day because this is my favorite breakfast. Quick and easy.

Slow boiled corned beef with green cabbage and red potatoes

First time I used the instapot for this recipe. Corned beef exist because of England. When the Roman armies invaded Briton they introduced beef to England. They became the number one consumer of beef way back since the 1600's. They imported cattle from Ireland, and Europe. In the cattle acts of 1663 and 1667 the live cattle could no longer be imported into England. So the Irish started production of salted beef. The salt was the size of corn kernels. Thus corned beef. This also drove the price of beef down.After the Cattle Acts, salt was the main reason Ireland became the hub for corned beef. Irelands salt tax was almost 1/10 that of England’s and could import the highest quality at an inexpensive price. With the large quantities of cattle and high quality of salt, Irish corned beef was the best on the market. It didn’t take long for Ireland to be supplying Europe and the Americas with its wares. But, this corned beef was much different than what we call corned beef today. With the meat being cured with salt the size of corn kernels, the taste was much more salt than beef.

Had some left over corned beef.

corned beef &cabbage soup

I love love love corned beef and this sambo is a must in my books 😋

Whenever I make corned beef and cabbage my corned beef always would come out shredded. The corn beef would never be full of flavor or stay together. Adding a little citrus acid to the mix enhances the flavor and keeps us together. It is very good

This recipe is a little bit #boileddinner & a little bit #cornedbeefandcabbage 🤷🏻‍♀️😏 My family was craving corned beef & this is what I put together with the vegetables we had around at the time. Because you can totally substitute #brusselsprouts for #cabbage right? 👌😄 The corned beef stayed very moist & the vegetables had a wonderful taste. I love that it cooks all in one pan (if you have one big enough!👏😆 I wanted more potatoes than I could fit so I had to use a second saucepan this time🤷🏻‍♀️) and I love colorful foods! 😍🤤

Makes a great use for leftovers of corned beef and cabbage!

Not quite fond of corned beef until I cooked it for an entire day in crock pot. Absolutely tender and delicious. The tasty cabbage is a perfect complement for it.
