Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place corned beef in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Add spice packet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until corned beef is just about fork-tender, about 2 hours.

Step 2

While the corned beef is simmering, cut potatoes in half. Peel carrots and cut into 3-inch pieces. Cut cabbage into small wedges.

Step 3

When corned beef has cooked for 2 hours, add potatoes and carrots; cook until vegetables are almost tender and meat is fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until tender, about 15 more minutes.

Step 4

Remove meat and let rest for 15 minutes. Leave broth and vegetables in the Dutch oven.

Step 5

Slice meat across the grain. Serve with vegetables and broth.
