I recently discovered that corned beef and cabbage isn’t actually Irish, but it certainly is a traditional dish at my St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! I look forward to it each year. This year I decided an appetizer twist on this classic St. Patty’s Day meal was necessary.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Hand Pies

This recipe makes 24 three-inch hand pies. However, if you have a large piece of corned beef you could easily add more pie dough to your plans and make more!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb corned beef roast
  • 1/4 a head of cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium-sized yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 4 nine-inch rounds of pie dough (I did pre-made but you could absolutely make your own!)
  • 1 egg
  • Olive oil, salt, & pepper

Corned beef takes a long time to make. However, it’s delicious and completely worth it! Follow the directions that come on your corned beef roast. I used my crockpot and cooked the roast on low for 8 hours. My directions will begin after the corned beef is cooked. You could absolutely pick up corned beef at a deli and make this dish!

Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees F.

Directions:

  1. Sauté your cabbage and onion in a saucepan over medium heat until slightly translucent and browned.
  2. Dice your cooked corned beef and mix into the cabbage and onion mixture.
  3. Cut circles from your pie dough using a cookie cutter or glass.
  4. Using a rolling pin, roll out your circles of dough just a bit.
  5. Pile the corned beef and cabbage mixture in the center of a pie dough round. Top with another round of pie dough and crimp the edges to seal. Continue until all pie dough is used.
  6. Put on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Cut small slots into the top of each pie to let steam out.
  7. Crack your egg into a small dish and add a tablespoon of cold water. Whisk the egg until it makes an egg wash. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, brush egg wash onto each pie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until browned.
  9. Serve with mustard or a delicious Russian dressing.
