St. Patrick's Day 2016 - Hickory Smoked Corned Beef and Cabbage!

Happy St. Patty's Day! This time, I revisited an experiment I tried last October, and smoked the corned beef round at 275°F for and hour and a half. Then I covered it, added a beer, mustard, and seasonings, and baked it at 325°F for an additional two hours. The result is fantastic!!

Served it with boiled cabbage and potatoes, for a proper St. Patty's Day feast.

Intro music - traditional Irish folk tune, recorded live at McNamara's Tavern, Nashville TN, October 2011. Performers names unknown. They were extremely good, and extremely loud.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Moosie! As always that corned beef looks so fine and yummy! You are the master grill Chef for sure. I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since Nashille. I'm so glad I went. Hugs!

I have never seen a round! AND! I have never thought ever of smoking a corned beef. But I certainly will now!!!!
I like that technical term - "let's smoosh this around." lol. I love using technical terms like that :D
It loved divine. I need to try to find a round because that looks like it would be less fatty than the flat cuts we typically have here in the stores.

My absolute favorite meal bar none. Smoked corn beef Amazing and there's nothing wrong with a chef not being scared to get his hands dirty in the preparation of a good meal.

Patrick is fond of St Patrick's day for some reason but I don't recall what we ate. It certainly wasn't this, otherwise I would have remembered. I enjoyed watching the tin foil wrapping of the half smoked round - tuck tuck tuck! The final meal looked great, Moosie!
Five years ago at McNamara's. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, sometimes so long ago that I don't remember being there. I'll have to see if I have any clips of that! Good to see …. well, at least Rocky and your hands! - roc

Smoking the Corned Beef is a great idea, Moosie! That looks absolutely delicious. That was some fine piggery for sure!

[AussieAngeS]

Yumm! I just finished off my corned beef but all I did was put it in the crock pot with a can of Guinness. Yours looks so much better I am hungry for corned beef all over again!

[ColinsCookingChannel]

It looks so good. I have never had beef like that - only corned beef from a can.

Is it almost five years since Nashville? Thought I recognized that opening music from somewhere...

[lizkimber]

As always that looks excellent nosh. I had surgery this week and cant eat solid food, well, anything that needs chewing, and im so envious of that meal!

[Perroquet]

This made me very, very hungry for corned beef. Actually, it just made me very, very hungry.

I like red potatoes better anyhow. You know my new girl friend is Irish as am I and I have a funny feeling I'm going to be eating like this a lot more in times to come. Man that's a nice looking hunk of beef. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you my friend.

Me O My that looks Great John! Wish they sold the CB round cuts here. We get the Point CB for $2.69lb & Flat CB for $3.99lb. What do they sell the Round eye CB for in Fla?

We lost a fantastic European restaurant here years ago when the owner/chef passed away. His daughters struggled to keep it open for a while but, their dad didn't teach them All of his recipes. It was a Quaint & cozy small place that seated maybe 20 folks at tables and 8 at the bar. It was Ms JB & my fav place, We ate there weekly. They had a corned beef platter on the menu that had white wine based horseradish cream sauce on the CB, tators n carrots, It was heavenly delicious. With the warm house made potato bread it was fantastic. Wish I had those recipes, his daughters didn't know them but tried their best... Sadly it wasn't close.

I have kinda duplicated some of Zak's (the chef's) other recipes but not the bread or sauces. His Moussaka potato's & what he called Whosher steak was Killer YUM! The Whosher was a thick cut ribeye with a pocket, stuffed with diced onions bell peppers & garlic topped with mushrooms. It was marinaded in another secret sauce broiled & served in a HOT cast iron skillet with fresh snap beans & thick potato slices around the edges and under the steak, It all swam in plenty of the fantastic semi sweet brown sauce...

My mouth was drooling while typing the above... I tried many times to reproduce the above and got it close, but was missing something.... Dammit

Is that a eye of round that's been corned ?Most of the corned beef around here is cuts of
brisket

The food looks great, but I can't get over the St. Patty's day.   Patty is a girls name. It should be St. Paddy's day
