bjh, cut cabbage in half and cut the core out. I usually cut it into quarters because it is easier to cut the core out that way but either way works. I made this yesterday and it was absolutely tasty and delicious! I made it without the stout because my daughter must be gluten free and it was still the best corned beef I've ever made. This is my go-to recipe from now on!

Great AMERICAN-Irish recipe. Please understand, Corned Beef and Cabbage is not served in Ireland, at least the Ireland I grew up in.

@bjh11244 4088128, Try piercing the meat with a fork or knife after 2 1/2 hours. If it does not seem tender enough, please allow it to cook for an additional 30 minutes. We also had a minor typo in the recipe; thanks for pointing it out to us. When cutting the cabbage, we've updated line #3 read "Cut cabbages in half. Cored, then into wedges." To core cabbage, First cut the cabbage directly in half. Then you need to remove the core by simply slicing the core out of the middle of the cabbage. After the core is removed, then cut the cabbage into wedges. Hope this helps, and please let us know how it turns out! --Editor of RecipeLion

I have a problem with this sentence in #2. "Simmer until meat is tender when pierced, 2 1/2 to 3 hours." do I pierced it after the 2 1/2 to 3 hours or before it is up, and in sentence #3 cores, what do I do with this "cores" ?do I add it or throw it away?. I am anxious to make 'Corned Beef and Cabbage' and I want to make it right. Thank you. Sincerely Barbara
