The Luck of the Fry-rish!

A reimagined seasonal favorite guaranteed to have your taste buds dancing a jig. Surprise your guests with corned beef paired with crispy cabbage wedges packed with tender flavor. Trust us, this dish is well worth the wait.

How to Pick Corned Beef

When buying corned beef at the grocery store, look for a flat cut brisket or a pointcut brisket depending on your preference and desired outcome. Flat cut brisket is leaner and overall easier to slice since it has a more uniform thickness, while point cut is fattier and more flavorful since it has more marbling.

Ingredient Swaps

You can swap the mustard spice mixture with your own favorite spice mixture.

Nutritional Information

A single cup of cabbage contains nearly a third of the recommended daily value of vitamin C! Antioxidants like vitamin C are the first line of defense against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells. By incorporating nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables into your diet, you boost your vitamin C levels, which research has shown supports overall body health and your immune system!

Instructions

PREP THE CORNED BEEF

  1. Rinse the corned beef under water to remove excess salt, then dry with paper towels.  
  2. Mix the mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and the spice packet in a small bowl.  
  3. Remove the crisper plate from the air fryer basket. 
  4. Line the basket and sides with foil. Place the corned beef fat side up onto the foil, then spread the mustard spice mixture evenly over the top. 
  5. Place another sheet of foil over the brisket and tightly secure the edges to create a sealed foil packet. 

COOK THE CORNED BEEF

  1. Select the Bake function, adjust temperature to 300°F and time to 60 minutes, then tap Start/Pause.  
  2. Restart the air fryer with the same settings two more times.  
  3. Select the Bake function, adjust temperature to 300°F and time to 30 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. 
  4. Remove the top layer of foil when the corned beef reaches an internal temperature of 200°F or when the meat is tender. 
  5. Select the Broil function at 450°F for 5 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. 
  6. Remove corned beef when the top is nicely golden brown. 
  7. Rest corned beef on a cutting board and wipe the basket clean. 

COOK THE CABBAGE

  1. Place the crisper plate into the basket. 
  2. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 375°F, then tap Start/Pause. 
  3. Cut the cabbage into wedges, about 3 inches thick. Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush mixture over both sides of the cabbage wedges, then place the cabbage onto the preheated crisper plate. 
  4. Select the Air Fry function, adjust temperature to 375°F and time to 12 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. 
  5. Flip cabbage wedges over halfway through cooking. 
  6. Remove cabbage when crispy and golden and serve with corned beef. 

Chef Notes: Cooking corned beef to 200°F is important for achieving optimal tenderness because it allows the connective tissues (collagen) to break down and convert into gelatin, resulting in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Save any leftover corned beef for sandwiches or hash.
