A big sale on corned beef led Jason to request it for dinner. Turns out he didn't really know what corned beef was. He was sort of expecting pastrami? But anyway, I made my best attempt (having never tried before). I brined the beef with the little seasoning packet it came woth (plus extra salt and water) for a couple of days, and then just braised it on the stovetop. I added carrots and little potatoes, and sauteed cabbage with onions on the side. I didn't know if one traditionally serves gravy with corned beef and cabbage, but figured what the hell, I'm not Irish anyway and I love gravy, so I made some using the cooking broth. To my utter surprise, this was delicious! The carrots and potatoes soaked up all the nice beefy flavor, and the beef was tender and tasty, if a bit fatty. I would definitely make this again. With gravy. And maybe some soda bread?
