Irish Corned Beef Recipe

Did you know many of the recipes we think of as “traditional Irish cuisine” are actually Irish-American fusion food?

When Irish immigrants came to America, they could not always find (or afford) the ingredients needed for their family recipes. So like all resourceful people throughout history, they made adjustments… Such as using corned beef instead of slabs of bacon.

That’s right, Corned Beef and Cabbage is not technically a true Irish recipe. It’s Irish-American! Sorry to burst your bubble.

Generations later, these melting-pot recipes are so beloved here in the United States, we make them religiously every March 17th to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day.

Corned Beef is beef brisket, soaked in a salt brine.

The brine not only flavors the beef and gives it its unique rosy color,but this preservation method has also been a survival resource for thousands of years… All around the world.

Not just in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Beef Pot Pie Recipe

Today’s tantalizing Corned Beef Pot Pie with Scalloped Potato Top, is a nod to traditions old and new.

I’ve incorporated classic Irish (or Irish-American) ingredients such as corned beef, stout beer, and red potatoes into a dish that pulls together the best elements of other Irish dishes like: Irish Pot Pie, Shepherd’s Pie, and Irish Beer Stew.

If you are looking for something unique to serve this St. Patty’s Day, that will satisfy your Irish cravings, this Corned Beef Pot Pie with Scalloped Potato Top is the dish for you!

This beef pie is filled with tender morsels of corned beef, onions, carrots, corn, and peas settled in a luxurious beer-based gravy.

Then instead of using mashed potatoes or pastry crust on top, I’ve covered the corned beef pie with scalloped potatoes that turn crispy as they bake.

Corned Beef Pot Pie Ingredients

• Butter – Use regular butter or salty Irish butter like Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter!
• Cattlemen’s Ranch Flat Cut Corned Beef Brisket – Complete with the corned beef seasoning packet included inside the packaging.
• Flour – To thicken the filling.
• Onion – Chopped and softened in butter.
• Carrots – Freshly sliced.
• Corn – I like to use frozen corn for this recipe.
• Peas – And frozen peas as well.
• Thyme & Garlic – Dried thyme and garlic powder offer a punch of herby essence.
• O’Shea’s Irish Stout Beer – To add deep Irish flavor to the gravy.
• Heavy cream – To give the gravy a creamy texture.
• Red potatoes – Use small sliced red potatoes to form the scalloped top.

How to Make Corned Beef Pot Pie with Scalloped Potato Top

1. Prep the Ingredients. It’s very important to trim the fat off the top of the corned beef brisket and cut the beef into small chunks. They should be no larger than 3/4 inch cubes, so they cook through, then soften, as they bake.
2. Simmer the Filling. Sauté the onions in butter, then toss corned beef in flour before adding it to the pot to create a roux for thickening. Place all the herbs and veggies in the pot, and stir in the beer to create a rich gravy.
3. Arrange the Scalloped Potatoes. This is the fun part! Place sliced red potatoes over the top of the filling to create a pretty pattern. Overlap the potatoes to make sure you cover it completely.
4. Bake! As the pot pie bakes the gravy will work up over some of the potatoes. Don’t let this worry you, it will help the potatoes brown as they cook.
