Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket
• 8 cups water
• 12 ounces beer (preferably Irish stout)
• 1 large onion
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 4 medium carrots
• 6 small potatoes
• 0.5 head green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the brisket into a large pot or slow cooker and pour in 8 cups of water and the beer.

Step 3

Peel and quarter the onion, then add it to the pot along with the garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and mustard seeds.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer gently for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender but not falling apart. (If using a slow cooker, cook on low for approximately 8 hours.)

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, peel and chop the carrots into large chunks. Wash the potatoes, leaving the skin on, and cut them into halves if they are large.

Step 6

After the beef has simmered for 3 hours, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and continue cooking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Cut the cabbage into wedges and add it to the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Cover and let the cabbage cook until it is tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Carefully remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain for the best texture and tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables. Optionally, drizzle a little melted butter over the vegetables for added richness.

Step 10

Enjoy your 'Kiss Me I'm Irish Corned Beef' and celebrate in style!
