A comforting low-carb keto dish combining tender corned beef and caramelized cabbage in a luscious creamy sauce, perfect for cozy dinners and quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds cooked corned beef brisket, sliced or shredded
  • 1 medium green cabbage head (about 1.5 pounds), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the corned beef by slicing or shredding about 1.5 pounds into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage, then chop into roughly 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook until it softens and starts to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Lower heat if cabbage browns too quickly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Pour this mixture over the cabbage in the skillet and stir gently to combine.
  6. Fold in the sliced corned beef and fresh thyme. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat until heated through and sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper sparingly, remembering corned beef is already salty. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika for subtle smokiness.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes. The sauce will thicken more as it cools. Serve warm.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Cook cabbage slowly to caramelize and avoid bitterness. Taste before adding salt due to salty corned beef. Use fresh thyme for best flavor. If sauce is too runny, increase heat slightly and stir until thickened. Leftovers taste better the next day; reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream if needed.
