Place the beef brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add kosher salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, allspice berries, cloves, and bay leaves to the pot.
Pour the beef broth and water over the brisket until completely covered.
Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer gently for about 4 hours or until the brisket is very tender.
After 3 hours of cooking, add the minced garlic, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage wedges into the pot.
Continue cooking for the remaining hour until the vegetables are tender.
Using tongs, remove the brisket from the pot and slice it against the grain.
Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables, and drizzle with some of the cooking liquid for moisture and added flavor.
