Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound corned beef brisket sliced into chunks
  • 12 ounces Italian sausage mild or spicy
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups baby potatoes halved
  • 2 cups green cabbage chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • parsley optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Dutch Oven

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add sliced onion to the same pan. Cook until soft and lightly golden. Stir in garlic and cook for one minute.
  3. Add corned beef brisket pieces to the pan. Sprinkle with black pepper and paprika. Stir gently to coat.
  4. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring once.
  5. Add potatoes and cabbage. Nestle the sausage back into the pan. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until everything is tender.
  6. Uncover and cook for 5 more minutes to thicken the juices. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Don’t rush the simmer – corned beef needs time to tenderize. Use a heavy-lid pan to retain moisture and build flavor. Leftovers can be turned into hash, sandwiches, or even a baked pasta dish.
