Corned Beef and Cabbage
We pick out some choice St. Patrick’s Day recipes to celebrate with. Let’s start with probably the most popular dish for St. Patrick’s Day, especially if you’re a fan of hearty fare. Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional Irish and English dish made from beef brisket. There are two cuts of brisket for corned beef: flat cut and point cut. The flat cut is square, has less fat, slices easily and is found in grocery stores more commonly. On the other hand, the point cut is pointed, has more fat and is better for shredding. Additionally, you could purchase an entire brisket, which has the point and flat cut, or a beef round, though it is a much less common cut for corned beef.
