Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional Irish dish perfect for celebrating St. Patty's Day, or as a hearty meal for your family.

Ingredients

• 1 (3- to 3-1/2-pound) corned beef brisket with pickling spices
• 8 cups water

• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks

Preparation

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven over high heat, bring corned beef with pickling spices and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 2-1/2 hours, or until almost fork-tender.

Add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to corned beef and continue cooking, covered, 25 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables and corned beef are fork-tender.

Place corned beef on a cutting board and slice across the grain. Serve with vegetables.
