Bacon grease adds rich flavor to this simple St. Patrick's Day staple. Be sure to start early and cook your beef until tender, then serve it up with potatoes or glazed carrots.
For 6 people
Fill pot with water and bring to slow simmer. Add brisket and contents of seasoning pack. Boil 3 to 3 ½ (three and one-half) hours until tender. Put 1/4 cup water in a separate pot and bring to a boil. Add cabbage, bacon grease, salt and pepper. Steam until tender. Serve with boiled potatoes and brown sugar-glazed carrots if desired.
Use the leftovers to make Reuben sandwiches.
