From above, you'll see a vibrant plate of food that is a sight to behold. The radioactive look of the corned beef hash in the center next to the elegant, cabbage arranged like a rose in a deep green circle. Around this, golden baby potatoes glisten with the sheen of the Guinness glaze. Freshly chopped green sprigs of parsley are sprinkled across the whole plate for an added pop of color.

A little about this dish

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a traditional Irish meal that combines classic flavors with a stunning presentation. The star of this dish is the corned beef, a classic St. Patrick's day staple, which we will complement with cabbage and baby potatoes, simmered in the cooking juices and beer for added depth of flavor.

Ingredients (for 4)

Pre-cooked corned beef — 2 lbs — none
Medium savoy cabbage — 1 — sliced into ribbons, to make cabbage rose
Baby potatoes — 1.5 lbs — rinsed
Guinness beer — 1 cup — none
Brown sugar — 2 tablespoons — none
Butter — 3 tablespoons — none
Fresh parsley — 3 tablespoons — chopped
Olive oil — 2 tablespoons — none
Salt — to taste — none
Black pepper — to taste — none

Preparation

Step 1 — 🍳🍖🔥

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add pre-cooked corned beef and shred it using two forks. Continue to cook until the corned beef is browned and crispy around the edges.
Step 2 — 🌹🥬🧵

Steam the savoy cabbage slices until they are malleable. Roll a few ribbons to create the center of the rose, then wrap additional ribbon slices around it until reaching a rose-like appearance. Secure with kitchen twine.
Step 3 — 🥔💧🔥

In a large pot, bring baby potatoes to a boil and cook until tender, drain and set aside.
Step 4 — 🍺🥣🔥

In the same pot, add the remaining butter, Guinness beer, and brown sugar. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Add the boiled potatoes back into the pot, stirring to coat them in the glaze.
Step 5 — 🍽️🌹🥔

To serve, divide the corned beef hash onto 4 plates, place the cabbage rose beside it, and surround it with a ring of potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.

A final fox tip

Corned beef is a St. Patrick's Day staple in the United States, though it's not as commonly eaten in Ireland. Historically, Irish immigrants in America replaced the traditional bacon with beef, which was more readily available and less expensive. To make this meal kid-friendly, let them help in creating the cabbage roses. For a vegetarian version, replace the corned beef with a hearty vegetable like portabello mushrooms.
