Ingredients
- 1 piece of corned beef (brisket)
- 1 pack (or small bottle) of spices
- 8 to 10 carrots that have been peeled and cut into 5 cm pieces
- 8 medium sized potatoes, cut into 4 pieces

Step
Method 1 of 3: Boiling Beef
Step 1. Place the corned beef in a large pot of boiling water and simmer for five hours before you plan to eat it; add flavoring or spices
- If you don't have any flavoring, then you can make your own. Tie four bay leaves, a tablespoon of coriander seeds, a tablespoon full of mustard seeds, and a tablespoon full of black pepper on a cheesecloth and place them in the boiling water.
- You can also add 1.4 lt of Guinness to give your corned beef a soft kick.
Step 2. Add water to the pot to keep the meat submerged, as the boiling water will evaporate
Step 3. While the meat is simmering, peel and cut the vegetables into large pieces, which you will add to the boiling water after the meat is cooked
Step 4. After cooking the meat for 3 1/2 hours, add the carrots and radishes
After 3 3/4 hours, add the onions and potatoes, and after 4 hours, add the cabbage.
Method 2 of 3: Cutting the Meat
Step 1. Remove the cabbage once it becomes soft and separate the vegetables in a skillet
Carefully transfer the meat from the pot to the cutting board. Save the meat-water juice used to boil the meat for serving.
Step 2. Let the corned beef sit for 15 to 20 minutes to cool
Remove the fat from the meat using a knife or spoon.
Step 3. Cut across the grain of the meat into 2.5 cm thick slices
Step 4. Spoon some of each vegetable into a large soup bowl
Place the corned beef slices over the vegetables and pour 1/4 cup of the beef juice.
