1
Rinse the Corned Beef
Begin by rinsing the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess salt and brine.
2
Prepare the Pot
In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the rinsed corned beef and cover it with water. Make sure the water is enough to submerge the brisket completely.
3
Add Pickling Spice
Stir in the pickling spice into the water with the corned beef. This will add flavor to the meat as it cooks.
4
Bring to a Boil
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
5
Simmer the Corned Beef
Allow the corned beef to simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until it is tender. Check occasionally and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

6
Add Carrots and Potatoes
After 2.5 hours, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir gently to ensure they are submerged in the cooking liquid.
7
Continue Cooking
Cover the pot again and continue simmering for an additional 30 minutes.
8
Add Cabbage
After 30 minutes, add the cabbage wedges to the pot. Stir gently and cover to cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

9
Remove and Rest
Once the corned beef and vegetables are tender, carefully remove the brisket from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
10
Slice and Serve
Slice the corned beef against the grain into thin slices. Serve with the cooked vegetables and a ladle of the cooking liquid for added flavor.
