1/2 pound cooked corned beef (from a 3- to 4-pound corned

until just tender. Drain.
In a large non-stick skillet cook onion and garlic in
butter over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is golden.
Add bell pepper and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Sprinkle
flour over mixture and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in
broth, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce and simmer,
stirring, 2 minutes. Add corned beef, potatoes, and salt
and pepper to taste and cook over moderate heat, turning

To make corned beef:
In a kettle combine beef with cold water to cover by 2
inches and bring water to just a boil, skimming froth.
Simmer beef, covered, 3 hours, or until tender. Remove
kettle from heat and let beef stand in cooking liquid 20
minutes. Transfer beef to work surface and trim fat. Use
beef as part of a boiled dinner and/or for making corned
beef on rye. Corned beef keeps, covered and chilled, 4
days.
Serves 4.
