here's a traditional method for preparing corned beef and cabbage:

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 pounds of corned beef brisket
  • 1 head of cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 6-8 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4-6 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • Whole black peppercorns
  • Bay leaves
  • Water
  • Instructions:

    1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess brine.

    2. Place the brisket in a large pot and cover it with cold water. Make sure the brisket is fully submerged.

    3. Add the minced garlic, whole black peppercorns, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

    4. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and let the brisket simmer for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during cooking.

    5. After the brisket has cooked for about 2 hours, add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and cabbage wedges to the pot.

    6. Continue to simmer the brisket and vegetables for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

    7. Once everything is cooked through, carefully remove the brisket from the pot and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.

    8. Arrange the sliced brisket and cooked vegetables on a serving platter. Serve hot with mustard or horseradish on the side, if desired.
