Ingredients
  

Main Components
  • 3 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 1 head green cabbage cut into wedges
  • 1 lb red potatoes halved
  • 4 large carrots peeled and chunked
  • 1 large yellow onion quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 4 cups beef broth low sodium
  • 4 cups water as needed

Equipment

  • Large Stockpot
  • tongs
  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Slotted Spoon

Method
 

The Boil
  1. Place the corned beef brisket in a large stockpot and sprinkle the contents of the included spice packet over the top.
  2. Add the quartered onion, smashed garlic, and beef broth, then add enough water to completely submerge the beef by at least an inch.
  3. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce to a low simmer and cover the pot tightly.
  4. Simmer the beef for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork-tender and yielding.
  5. Carefully add the potatoes and carrots to the pot and continue simmering for 15 minutes.
  6. Place the cabbage wedges on top of the other vegetables, cover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  7. Remove the meat and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing against the grain.
  8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and serve alongside the sliced beef with a ladle of cooking liquid.

Notes

Always slice your beef against the grain to ensure the most tender bite. Store any leftovers in the cooking liquid to keep the meat from drying out in the fridge.
