Grilled Corned Beef & Cabbage Recipe
Corned beef and cabbage is a classic, but have you ever tried it grilled? This Grilled Corned Beef & Cabbage recipe puts a smoky, charred twist on the traditional dish, making it even more flavorful and irresistible. Tender, spice-rubbed corned beef paired with perfectly grilled cabbage creates a meal that’s as bold as it is delicious.
Why Grill Corned Beef & Cabbage?
Grilling adds a smoky depth to the corned beef while giving the cabbage a beautiful char and sweetness. Instead of boiling everything like the classic preparation, this method enhances the flavors and textures, making the dish even more satisfying.
Grilling corned beef requires a tool that keeps it stable for slow cooking, and that’s where the Braize Adjustable Grill Basket comes in. It ensures even cooking while keeping the meat juicy. A Braize Grill Basket is also perfect for securing the cabbage wedges and getting that perfect char without losing pieces through the grates.
