Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess salt. Place it in a large pot.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Add water, pickling spice, garlic cloves, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cabbage

    About 30 minutes before the brisket is done, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded cabbage and sliced carrots. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cabbage

    Sauté the cabbage and carrots for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve over the sautéed cabbage and carrots.
