Corned Beef and Cabbage Tips
What’s the best cut of corned beef to buy?
It depends upon your individual choice. There are two cuts of brisket for corned beef: flat cut and point cut. The flat cut is square, has less fat, pieces quickly and is found in grocery stores more typically. On the other hand, the point cut is pointed, has more fat and is much better for shredding.
Additionally, you could buy an entire brisket, which has the point and flat cut, or a beef round, though it is a much less typical cut for corned beef.
What else should I serve with the corned beef?
In addition to the veggies and sauces, this Dutch oven corned beef goes great with a hearty piece of Irish soda bread and a pad of butter. For more joyful concepts, take a look at all of our St. Patrick’s Day dinner dishes.
