Cuisine European UK and Ireland Irish Chef John's Corned Beef and Cabbage 4.8 (258) 196 Reviews 36 Photos It's almost St. Patrick's Day, and for many that means boiling up a nice authentic Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage. The original Irish recipe actually used a type of lean bacon, made with a cut of pork similar to Canadian bacon. Corned beef came into the picture as a lower-cost substitution, to replace the more expensive and harder to find cut. Recipe by Chef John Updated on September 11, 2022 Save Saved!
