Instructions

  1. Place the corned beef in a large stock pot. Add spice packet if your corned beef came with one (see note if you don't have one).
  2. Add one bottle of beer (optional) over corned beef and enough water to cover completely.
  3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer 45-50 minutes per pound (until meat is fork tender). Approximately 2 ½ -3 ½ hours.
  4. Once tender, remove meat from the pot and cover (reserve the cooking liquid, this will flavor your vegetables). Place corned beef in a 250°F oven to keep warm.
  5. Bring the corned beef water back up to a boil. Add in vegetables and cook an additional 20-30 minutes or until tender.
  6. Place vegetables in a large bowl and toss with butter. Add parsley.
  7. Slice the corned beef against the grain.

Notes

  • If your corned beef didn't come with a seasoning packet, add 1-2 tablespoons of pickling spice and 2 bay leaves to the water.
  • Leftover corned beef can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
