Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 2.5 to 3 hours
Serving Size: 6 servings


Ingredients:

  • 3-4 lbs (1.5-1.8 kg) corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 10-12 small potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), scrubbed
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds (optional)


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Corned Beef:
    Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess salt. Place the brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the seasoning packet that comes with the brisket, or use the mustard seeds, bay leaf, and peppercorns.
  2. Cook the Corned Beef:
    Cover the brisket with water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the corned beef is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Add the Vegetables:
    Once the corned beef is tender, add the potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the Cabbage:
    After the potatoes and carrots are cooked, add the cabbage wedges to the pot. Cook for an additional 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender but not overcooked.
  5. Slice and Serve:
    Remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. Serve the corned beef with the boiled vegetables and a ladle of the flavorful broth.


Enjoy your hearty and traditional Dublin Corned Beef and Cabbage!
