Ingredients

• 4 pounds corned beef brisket
• 10 cups water
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 4 small white or yellow onions, peeled
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 8 small red potatoes, whole
• 1 head green cabbage, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons grainy mustard (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the corned beef brisket into a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add 10 cups of water, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Bring the pot to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the brisket simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during cooking.

Step 3

After the beef has become tender, add the peeled onions, carrots, and whole red potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Add the wedges of green cabbage to the pot and cook for another 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Using tongs, carefully remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the beef against the grain into thin slices.

Step 6

Transfer the vegetables to a large platter and arrange the sliced corned beef on top or alongside them.

Step 7

Optionally, drizzle the vegetables with melted butter for added flavor. Serve with a side of grainy mustard, if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish with your family or friends!
