Ingredients

How to make it

  • Rinse the beef brisket under cold water, trim extra fat and place in a large pot.
  • Add enough water to cover the roast by 6 inches.
  • Peel the onions, and place them in the pot with the roast.
  • Bring to a boil, and cook for about 30 minutes at a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low so that the water is at a gentle boil, cover, and cook for 3 1/2 hours.
  • Skim foam from water.
  • Remove the lid from the brisket.
  • Remove onions, and cut into wedges.
  • Return them to the pot.
  • Add carrots to the pot, then place the cabbage over the roast.
  • Place the potatoes on top of the cabbage.
  • Place the lid back on the pot, and cook for another 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  • The potatoes should be immersed in the water by now, but if not, keep the lid on so they can steam.
  • Remove the vegetables from the pot, and place in a separate serving bowl.
  • Keep the corned beef in the pot until ready to slice and serve because it dries out quickly.

    Fixing this today, I usually do my veggies in stages but I'm trying it your way this time. Should be done in 30 minutes or so, can hardly wait. Love this stuff.

    Dottie,
    This is EXACTLY how I make it. Just like my Gran did and people LOVE it! My daughter brought it to school for "heritage" pot luck and all the Asian mom's (we live in the San Francisco Bay Area) wanted the recipe. I was like...WHAT? There is no recipe. Ha!
