Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket
• 8 cups water
• 4 large carrots
• 2 medium yellow onions
• 6 medium red potatoes
• 1 head green cabbage
• 0.25 cup whole grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 packet spice packet (included with corned beef brisket)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess brine. Pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the brisket in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Add the spice packet (included with the corned beef), water, peeled garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 2.5 hours, or until the corned beef is tender.

Step 4

While the beef is cooking, peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Peel and quarter the onions. Leave the potatoes unpeeled but wash them thoroughly.

Step 5

Cut the green cabbage into quarters, removing the core. Set all the prepared vegetables aside.

Step 6

After 2.5 hours, add the carrots, onions, and potatoes to the pot. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes, partially covered.

Step 7

Finally, add the cabbage and cook for another 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Carefully remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Arrange the sliced corned beef on top or alongside the vegetables.

Step 10

Serve with a side of whole grain mustard or your favorite Irish soda bread.
