Roasted Corned Beef, Sweet Potatoes & Swiss Chard

Roast Corned Beef Recipe

St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Traditions

St. Patrick’s Day…. aaah, the “boiled meal”.  Every year I make the traditional Corned Beef, Cabbage & Potatoes.  And not knowing any other way to cook corned beef, we’ve enjoyed our festive St. Patty’s Day boiled dinner while looking forward to Reuben Sandwiches made with leftover roasted Corned Beef.

This year I wanted something different than boiled corned beef and cabbage, and with a little experimentation, here’s what my family and friends will be eating this year at my house for St. Patrick’s Day.  This was my first time roasting Swiss chard and I’m now a fan- it compliments the salty corned beef beautifully!

Bye-bye boiled dinner!

Irish King Dinner

Here are some scenes from last year’s St. Patrick’s Day and the Spilsbury’s annual Corned Beef, Cabbage & Potatoes dinner.

The Irish King Dinner

 

I used a mismatch selection of various shades of green tableware.  Some of the green dishes, napkins and serving dishes came from my pantry while others I selected from various stores like Pier1, Target and HomeGoods- how marvelous it was to not have to decide on one set!  Instead, I was able to select pieces from many collections.

These regal chairs sit in our Living Room and were hand-selected by my husband (who is both Irish and a Leo).  I thought they made a perfect addition to our al fresco dinner table.

 

It’s difficult to get the boiled version of corned beef & cabbage to photograph well- it’s not the most photogenic meal out there, that’s for sure.  This year’s dinner of Roasted Corned Beef, Sweet Potatoes and Swiss Chard was a supermodel compared the traditional recipe.

Bistro Beef Tenderloin

By on February 14, 2013 in Entrees Recipe, Holiday Recipes, Recipes

Healthy & Simple Easter Dinner Recipe

This simple and healthy recipe from RecipeRehab.com is perfect for Easter dinner or any Springtime meal. Tenderloin is the most luxurious cut of beef. Although it’s a fantastic dinner-party dish, leftovers the next day are pure heaven. Trim off any visible silver skin, the translucent, tough membrane lying along the outside curve of the tenderloin.

Bistro Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef, tenderloin steaks - trimmed of fat
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, Kosher
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, black ground
  • 2/3 cup herbs, mixed, fresh - (such as chives, parsley, chervil, tarragon, thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons mustard, Dijon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Tie kitchen string around tenderloin in three places so it doesn’t flatten while roasting. Rub the tenderloin with oil; pat on salt and pepper. Place in a large roasting pan.
  3. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 45 minutes, turning two or three times during roasting to ensure even cooking. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the string.
  4. Place herbs on a large plate. Coat the tenderloin evenly with mustard; then roll in the herbs, pressing gently to adhere. Slice and serve.
