Instructions
- In a large pot, place the corned beef brisket and cover it with water.

- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the corned beef is fork-tender.
- Once tender, carefully remove the corned beef from the pot and set it aside on a cutting board to rest.

- While the vegetables are cooking, slice the rested corned beef against the grain into thin slices.
- Serve the sliced corned beef alongside the boiled vegetables. Season with salt to taste and offer mustard on the side for a flavorful kick.
Tips
- For an added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the pot while cooking.
- Feel free to substitute or add other root vegetables like turnips or parsnips for variety.
- This dish is perfect for leftovers; try making a corned beef hash the next day!
