• 1 large onion (peeled and cut into quarters)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 4 whole cloves

Préparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Corned Beef:: Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the meat. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cloves, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Cook the corned beef:: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 2 to 2½ hours, or until the meat is tender when prodded with a fork.

3. 3

   Add Vegetables:: Once the meat is tender, add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Cabbage:: After the potatoes and carrots have started to soften, add the cabbage wedges on top. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.

5. 5

   Serve:: Remove the vegetables and beef from the pot. Slice the beef against the grain. Serve hot with the vegetables. Mustard or horseradish on the side is highly recommended for that extra kick!
