Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef brisket
- 8 cups water
- 1 whole large onion
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 10 whole black peppercorns
- 4 whole large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 8 whole small red potatoes, halved
- 1 whole head of cabbage, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt and set it aside.
Step 2
Place the corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven and add water to cover the meat by about 1 inch.
Step 3
Cut the onion into quarters and add it to the pot along with the bay leaves and peppercorns.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours. The corned beef should be fork-tender.
Step 5
About 45 minutes before the corned beef is done, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Step 6
In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the cabbage wedges to the pot and cook until they are just tender.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the corned beef, slice it against the grain, and arrange it on a serving platter.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and arrange them alongside the corned beef.
Step 9
Serve the corned beef and vegetables hot, and enjoy!
