Luck of the Irish Corned Beef Brisket Recipe - 4 - 5 lbs. corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
- 3 quarts water
- 2 onions, halved and stuck with 2 cloves each
- 6 carrots, peeled and halved
- 1 large head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 sprigs fresh parsley
- 12 peppercorns, crushed
- 12 coriander seeds
- 1 1-inch cinnamon stick
Place corned beef and seasoning packet in large heavy pot; add water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Add onions and carrots. Bring back to a boil and skim off fat.
Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer approximately 2 - 4 hours until beef is tender. When brisket pierces easily, it is ready.
Drain the water, place brisket on a platter and let stand about 10 minutes. Slice diagonally across the grain and serve with cabbage, carrots and onion. Serves 8.
