A simple way to prepare this classic Irish dish. Top it with horseradish cream or mustard and serve it with a side of potatoes. Keep in mind the meat shrinks down to almost 1 lb when cooked. For Main Dish: 2.5 lbs corned beef brisket in brine, fat trimmed off 1 cup baby carrots, peeled 1 small head cabbage, cut into 4 wedges 2 bay leaves For the Horseradish Cream 1 tbsp prepared grated horseradish 1/4 cup fat free sour cream 1/4 tsp dijon mustard salt and pepper Directions: In a large pot, place brisket, bay leaves and enough water to cover. Simmer, covered for about an hour per pound. When meat is tender add carrots. Boil for about 10 minutes, then add cabbage. Cook another 15- 20 minutes, until tender. Remove the meat and place on a cutting board. Slice the meat across the grain into thin slices. Serve with vegetables and ladle some broth on top .

  1. You know, a lot of people do not know how to properly slice meats to help ensure its tenderness. Maybe you could do a blog on different meats and how to slice. I know it sounds simple, but honest to God --- even I improperly slice roasts.
