Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes halved or quartered
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • ½ head cabbage cut into wedges (leave the core intact)

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the corned beef under cold water and place it in a large Dutch oven or pot. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat and add enough water to just cover it. Cover the pot, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2 hours.
  • Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot, making sure they're covered with the liquid. Add more water if needed. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.
  • Place the cabbage wedges on top of the pot. They don’t need to be submerged. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove the brisket and place it on a cutting board. Slice it into ½-inch slices. Arrange the meat, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage on a platter. Serve warm.
