Ingredients:
4-5 pound corned beef
spice packet
3 quarts water
1 onion, quartered
3 carrots, cut in large chunks
3 ribs celery, cut in 2-inch pieces
1 tsp salt
2 pounds red potatoes
1 small green cabbage, cut in 8ths
hot mustard and rye bread
Directions
Take the corned beef out of the package and rinse it well. Place it in a large pot and add the onion, carrots and celery. Sprinkle in the spice packet and salt and cover with about 3 quarts of water. Bring to a simmer and skim the foam.
Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Simmer for about 3 hours.
After the 3 hours add the potatoes. Cover the pot and simmer for another ½ hour.
Add the cutup cabbage and simmer for about another 20 minutes.
After that time pull out the meat and allow it to rest about 15 minutes before slicing across the grain.
Serve it up and enjoy!
