Authentic Irish Boiled Dinner Recipe (Corned Beef)

Ingredients

• 1 (5 1/2 pound) corned beef brisket
• 2 large onions
• 10 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 heads cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
• 15 small white (Irish) potatoes

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients for cooking.
2. Thoroughly rinse the corned beef brisket under cold running water and place it in a large stockpot. Add sufficient water to fully submerge the roast by approximately 6 inches.
3. Peel the onions and add them to the pot. Bring the water to a rapid boil, cooking for about 30 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and continue cooking for 3 ½ hours.
4. Take out the onions and cut each into wedges. Put the onions back in the pot. Add the carrots, then place the cabbage over the corned beef roast. Arrange the potatoes on top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Ensure the potatoes are submerged in the water; if not, keep the lid on to allow them to steam properly.
5. Carefully remove the cooked vegetables from the pot and transfer them to a separate serving dish. Keep the corned beef in the pot until you're ready to slice and serve it, which prevents it from drying out quickly.
