Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 10 small red potatoes
- 5 carrots peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 large head cabbage cut into small wedges
Instructions
- Place the corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. With a slotted spoon remove any scum that has risen to the surface.
- Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound or until fork tender. Remove the meat and cover loosely with foil to rest.
- Add the whole potatoes and the carrots. Simmer until the vegetables are almost tender. Add the cabbage and cook for 15 more minutes.
- Place the vegetables in a bowl and cover. Add as much broth (cooking liquid reserved in the Dutch oven or large pot) as you want. Slice the meat across the grain.
Enjoy!
