Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Corned Beef

Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot and cover with water. Add the garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat.

2

Simmer the Beef

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat is tender.

3

Add Vegetables

Add the potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

4

Add Cabbage

Finally, add the cabbage wedges to the pot and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cabbage is tender.

5

Serve

Remove the corned beef from the pot, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and some of the cooking liquid.
