Ingredients
Corned Beef and Vegetables:
4 pounds corned beef brisket, or more to taste
2 quarts water, or as needed to cover
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into 6 wedges
12 small red potatoes, halved
1 pound small white onions, peeled
6 large carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard
Directions
Make the corned beef and vegetables: Place corned beef into a 6-quart Dutch oven, and pour in enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, skimming the liquid occasionally to remove fat from the top. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
Arrange cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots around beef; return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender and beef can easily be pulled apart with a fork, about 40 minutes. Transfer beef to a serving platter. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange around beef. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for the sauce.
Make the sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until dissolved and bubbling, about 1 minute. Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar; cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in sour cream and mustard.
Serve sauce alongside corned beef and vegetables.
