Beef Up Dinner with Irish Flair

By Momma Chef

No one will even know this recipe took you five minutes to throw together. It’s just that good! Be sure to use a whole pre-cooked corned beef. I heard Trader Joe’s has a great one. If it’s not pre-cooked, just boil and cut off the fat before you follow the recipe below. You absolutely cannot mess up this dish. It will be an instant hit with your family and friends.
