Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned Beef Brisket
Yellow Gold "B" Potatoes
Green Cabbage
Onions & Carrots\
Whole Grain Mustard
Watermelon Chunks



  • Rinse beef and put fat cap up in large,  heavy pot (ie Le Creuset) that can also cook in the oven.  Cover with water until just below the fat cap and bring pot to a boil on the stove.  As soon as it's boiling, put in preheated 300 degree oven with the lid off; and cook for at least 3 hours. 
  • During the last hour, put the potatoes, onions and carrots (could also use celery but I was out) in the cooking liquid.  In the last 15 minutes, add in the cabbage. 
  • Serve on a platter with all the ingredients in nice neat little piles.  And some good grain mustard to accompany.
  • No crazy talk from the crazy spouses.
