Corned Beef
- 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup reserved corned beef cooking liquid
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 3/4 cup creme fraiche, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
- Cook the Corned Beef: Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 3 hours. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid before removing the brisket. Let the meat rest, then slice it against the grain into thin strips.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and salt, cooking until mushrooms release their moisture and brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Butter and Garlic: Stir in the butter and minced garlic. Cook for another minute until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
- Create Roux and Deglaze: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the wine has reduced by half.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the reserved corned beef cooking liquid and the beef broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Finish the Sauce: Stir in the creme fraiche and chopped fresh dill until fully combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Combine and Serve: Add the sliced corned beef back into the sauce to warm for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional creme fraiche and fresh dill for a flavorful finish.
Notes
- Make sure to slice the corned beef against the grain to keep it tender.
- If creme fraiche is unavailable, sour cream can be used as an alternative but add it off the heat to avoid curdling.
- Reserve the cooking liquid carefully; it adds essential flavor and tenderness to the sauce.
- This dish pairs well with buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
