How To Make Ina Garten Corned Beef And Cabbage

1. Prep the Pot: In a large 6-quart pot, combine the corned beef, water, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, mustard seeds, juniper berries, allspice, and cloves. Place the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
2. Simmer the Beef: Once boiling, lower the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let the beef braise for about 3 hours. The beef should be very tender, and you should be able to easily pierce it with a fork.
3. Cook the Veggies: Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the vegetables and spices from the pot. Add the halved new potatoes to the cooking liquid. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat for 10 minutes. Then, add the cabbage wedges and boil for another 10 minutes.
4. Slice the Beef: Carefully remove the corned beef from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Cover it with plastic wrap to keep it warm. Slice the beef into 1/4-inch thick slices against the grain.
5. Serve: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked potatoes and cabbage onto a serving platter. Place the sliced beef next to them. Ladle 1 cup of the cooking liquid over the beef to keep it moist. Serve warm, accompanied by the horseradish cream.

Horseradish Cream:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, and give it a good stir.
