Baked corned beef

Oven Roasted Corned Beef with Cabbage & Bacon

March 10, 2020 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Ditch the boiled corned beef for the most flavorful Oven Roasted Corned Beef with Cabbage & Bacon this Saint Patrick’s Day.

Oven Roasted Corned Beef with Cabbage

The days of boiling your corned beef, cabbage and veggies in one pot is over! Oven Baked Corned Beef with Cabbage & Bacon is just as easy to make, but with so much more flavor. I start by placing my corned beef roast on a metal rack in a cast iron dutch oven and filling with water to just the very bottom of the roast. This step makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

By baking your corned beef, you allow the outside of the roast to develop so much more flavor and texture then boiling in water. No funky white film from boiling here! Just a nice browned outer crust that really sealed in the flavor. I like to add a few celery sticks, a carrot and a few onion slices for extra flavor. What I DON’T ADD is the cabbage. It takes about 5 minutes to cook the cabbage separately and I do this in bacon fat….because it is absolutely AMAZING!

You can make Cabbage & Bacon on any weeknight. It’s super quick and goes with pork chops as well as corned beef. I just love the simplicity of fresh cabbage sauteed with crispy smokey bacon. The splash of apple cider vinegar adds that punch of flavor and makes things exciting.
