Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

4 lbs corned beef brisket
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp mustard seeds
2 bay leaves
1 large onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, smashed
6 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 ribs celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges
6 cups water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine, then pat dry with paper towels.
3. Place the corned beef in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
4. Sprinkle black peppercorns and mustard seeds over the brisket, and add bay leaves, onion, and garlic around it.
5. Pour 6 cups of water into the pan, ensuring the brisket is mostly submerged.
6. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
7. Roast for approximately 2.5 hours, adding carrots, celery, and potatoes halfway through cooking.
8. In the last 30 minutes, add the cabbage wedges to the pan.
9. Check for tenderness; the corned beef should be fork-tender and the vegetables soft.
10. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing the beef against the grain.
11. Serve hot with the roasted vegetables.
