Corned Beef And Cabbage Reuben Recipes

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE I

Steps:

• Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound or until tender.
• Add whole potatoes and carrots, and cook until the vegetables are almost tender. Add cabbage and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove meat and let rest 15 minutes.
• Place vegetables in a bowl and cover. Add as much broth (cooking liquid reserved in the Dutch oven or large pot) as you want. Slice meat across the grain.

CORNED BEEF REUBEN WITH SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• For the slaw: Put the cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds and salt and pepper to taste over the top and toss well. Let stand, tossing frequently, until the cabbage wilts, about 20 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, ketchup, relish and paprika. Spread the dressing on one side of each slice of bread. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread; divide the meat among 4 of the slices. Top each sandwich with some slaw and invert the remaining cheese-covered bread slices onto each sandwich. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the butter on the top of each sandwich.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Arrange the sandwiches buttered-side up in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 4 minutes. Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve.
