Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds corned beef brisket
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed and peeled
  • seasoning packet included with the corned beef brisket
  • 1½ pounds baby red skinned potatoes halved if large
  • 4 large carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow onion halved and sliced vertically
  • 1 small head cabbage cut into wedges with the root intact

Method
 

  1. Rinse the corned beef thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place the brisket in a large stock pot with smashed garlic and pickling seasoning. Cover with at least 12 cups of water, leaving a few inches of space at the top.
  3. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a near boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 50 minutes per pound. A four-pound brisket will take approximately three and a half hours.
  4. Check the corned beef one-third of the way through cooking, adding more water and turning it as needed.
  5. With 30 minutes left, add the potatoes, carrots, and onions, then cover everything with the cabbage wedges.
  6. Test the vegetables by piercing them with a fork; they are done when the fork slides in easily.
  7. Remove the cooked corned beef and transfer it to a carving board. Slice the corned beef against the grain.
  8. Serve the boiled vegetables with butter, salt, and pepper. For the corned beef, a mustard dip is recommended.
