Corned Beef Sandwich
Corned Beef Sandwich
Ingredients
FOR THE CORNED BEEF:
1 (3- to 4-lb.) package corned beef brisket
FOR THE SANDWICHES:
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 c. thinly sliced red cabbage
1/3 c. mustard
8 slices marbled rye sandwich bread
4 tbsp. unsalted butter (optional)
Dill pickle spears and potato chips, for serving
Directions
1For the corned beef: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Unwrap the
corned beef brisket and place it fat-side up on a rack placed in a roasting
pan. If a seasoning packet is included, rub the fat with the spices. Pour 1 cup
of water in the side of the pan, and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
2Cook until the brisket is fork tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Check the corned beef by inserting a fork into the meat. If it goes in easily,
it's ready; if it is met with resistance, continue cooking. Once the corned
beef is fork-tender, remove it from the oven. Uncover and allow it to stand
until cool enough to handle.
3Transfer the corned beef to a cutting board. Thinly slice
the meat against the grain.
4For the sandwiches: In a medium bowl, whisk together the
vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add the cabbage and toss well. Set aside.
5Spread mustard on one side of each bread slice. On 4
of the bread slices, arrange 4 to 5 slices of the corned beef and 1/2 cup of
the cabbage. (The cabbage can also be served on the side.) Top with the
remaining 4 bread slices.
6Optional: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons
of the butter over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, toast 2 of the sandwiches
until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Repeat with the
remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 sandwiches.
7Slice the sandwiches in half; serve with dill pickle spears
and potato chips.
