Equipment
- - Large pot
Ingredients
For the Beef
- 2-3 pounds Corned Beef Brisket
For the Vegetables
- 1 large Onion quartered
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 small head Cabbage cut into 6 wedges

Instructions
Directions
- Start by placing the corned beef brisket in a large pot and adding enough water to cover it entirely.
- Toss in the quartered onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, and spices including black peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, whole cloves, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- Carefully add the quartered potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Allow them to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until they’re tender yet firm.
- Place the cabbage wedges on top of the beef and vegetables. Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still holds its shape.
- Remove the corned beef and vegetables from the pot. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve warm with the veggies.
