Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt and set it aside.
Place the corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven and add water to cover the meat by about 1 inch.
Cut the onion into quarters and add it to the pot along with the bay leaves and peppercorns.
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.
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.
In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the cabbage wedges to the pot and cook until they are just tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the corned beef, slice it against the grain, and arrange it on a serving platter.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and arrange them alongside the corned beef.
Serve the corned beef and vegetables hot, and enjoy!
