A quick and easy keto-friendly corned beef and cabbage recipe that delivers hearty, low-carb comfort food perfect for chilly evenings or St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds corned beef brisket, preferably pre-brined
  • 1 medium green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1 small head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced thin (optional)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 4 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pickling spice mix (or homemade blend of peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander, bay leaves)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water for 1-2 minutes to remove excess brine. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Optional: Heat olive oil or butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on all sides for 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Place the brisket in the pot with the fat side up. Add quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, and pickling spice.
  4. Pour in 4 cups beef broth, ensuring the brisket is mostly submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cover and simmer gently over low heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking occasionally to maintain a gentle simmer.
  6. Add cabbage wedges, cauliflower florets, and sliced carrots around the brisket. Cover and continue simmering for 20-30 minutes until vegetables are tender but firm.
  7. Check that the brisket is fork-tender and vegetables are soft but not mushy. Internal temperature should be about 190°F (88°C) if using a meat thermometer.
  8. Remove brisket and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into ¼-inch slices.
  9. Arrange slices on a platter with vegetables. Drizzle with Dijon mustard and season with freshly ground pepper as desired.

Notes

Rinsing the brisket balances saltiness without losing flavor. Searing the brisket is optional but adds flavor. Keep simmering gentle to avoid tough meat. Slice against the grain for tenderness. Cauliflower is a great low-carb potato substitute. Adjust seasoning after cooking as needed. Slow cooker and Instant Pot methods are available.
