The key here is cooking the meat and vegetables separately. This is how the Irish Pubs and restaurants do it. This helps to retain all the unique and original flavors of each part of the meal. Throw away the seasoning packet provided with the beef and use your own better quality spice ingredients. Serve with a side of stony-ground mustard(s) or a creamy horseradish sauce.

[*Leftover beef & potatoes can be used to make fresh "corned beef hash" for breakfast; as seen on better restaurant's menus.]

Steps

3 hours

1

Rinse the beef under cool water and place in a roasting pan with all the spices (and sugar). Add water to the pan but do not cover the meat entirely. Cover with a lid and place into an oven for 3 hours at 325˚F.
2

With 40 minutes left in the cooking time of the beef, steam the cabbage quarters for 20-30 minutes in a separate large pot. Tip: add some caraway seeds to the water.
3

In another pot, boil potatoes until slightly soft... or oven roast them for 40-45 minutes covered in olive oil, salt & pepper, paprika, thyme and rosemary.
4

Remove the meat to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice the meat against the grain and plate with a wedge of cabbage and potatoes. Spoon the meat broth over the meat and vegetables.
5

Serve with a variety of mustard(s), sour cream w/ horseradish sauce or perhaps a combination of both, mixed. Enjoy this meal with your favorite beverage.
