Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper corn
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seed
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 to 4 pound piece of corned beef brisket
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 small green cabbage
  • 1 pound of baby carrots
  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 11 qt or larger stock pot
  • Water
Instructions
  1. To begin making the corned beef brisket, cut the meat bag open, drain all the juices and put the meat in the stock pot with the fat facing down. (This helps keep the meat from sticking to the bottom.)
  2. In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper corn, caraway seed, crushed red pepper, yellow mustard seed, marjoram leaves and dried basil. This is a similar mixture of spices that you see in the small packet of spices that usually accompanies the corned beef.
  3. To prepare the vegetables wash them thoroughly and then do the following; cut the potatoes in half, core and cut the green cabbage into 2 inch slices and peel and cut the onion into eight equal chunks. Once finished add all the vegetables to the stock pot on top of the meat.
  4. Add water to the pot until all of the vegetables are covered and then pour the bowl of spices in. Mix the spices into the water with a mixing spoon and put on the stove to cook.
  5. Bring the whole pot to a boil and then simmer for 2 hours on low.
