Ingredients

4 lbs corned beef brisket

2 quarts water

1 medium head cabbage

12 small red potatoes

1 lb small white onions

6 large carrots

1 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

0.5 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 tbsp coarse Dijon mustard

Directions

Prepare all ingredients.

Cook the corned beef and vegetables: Place the brisket in a 6-quart Dutch oven; pour water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, occasionally skimming the surface to remove fat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.

Arrange cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots around the beef. Return to a boil; then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer until vegetables are tender and the beef can be easily pulled apart with a fork – about 40 minutes.

Transfer beef to a serving platter; remove veggies with a slotted spoon and arrange around beef. Reserve 1.5 cups of cooking liquid for the sauce.

Create the creamy Dijon sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in flour until dissolved and bubbling (about 1 min). Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar; cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened – approximately 4 mins.

Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and mustard.

Serve the sauce alongside corned beef and vegetables.
