Ingredients
  • 5-6 pounds corned beef
  • 4 large onions, outer skin removed, each cut into large wedges
  • 10 carrots, peeled
  • 2 ribs celery, cleaned
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 bunch parsley, cleaned
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 medium green cabbage
  • 12-14 small new potatoes, scrubbed
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon peppercorns

Directions
  1. In a large heavy-bottomed stockpot, combine the beef, 2 onions, 2 carrots, the celery, bay leaves, parsley and peppercorns.
  2. Add enough cold water to cover the beef by 3 inches and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
  4. Cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning 2 to 3 times.
  5. Cook until the beef is very tender, almost shredding when speared with a fork.
  6. Remove the meat from the pot and strain the broth into a large bowl. Discard the solids and return the meat and the strained broth to the pot.
  7. Add the mustard, remaining onions, carrots, cabbage and potatoes.
  8. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 50-60 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.
  9. Season the broth with salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Slice the beef into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  11. Surround the meat with the vegetables, served whole. The broth should be served on the side with a ladle.
  12. Make sure to have deep plates with a lip so lots of broth can be poured over the meat and vegetables, or use shallow bowls.
  13. Serve with a warm loaf of country bread.
  14. To Make Horseradish Sauce:
  15. 1 c. heavy cream, whipped until thick
  16. 6 to 8 tbsp. prepared horseradish, drained (adjust amount for hotness)
  17. 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise (optional)
  18. Fold horseradish into whipped cream add mayonnaise. Chill until served. This sauce does not keep well, so make just enough to use at one serving.
