Papa D's Corned Beef And Cabbage

---

My version of an all around good corned beef and cabbage. I use guinness draught beer. I prefer a 5+ lb brisket as they do shrink when cooked.

---

Steps

---

Preheat the oven to 300f.

---

Place the brisket and juices in a large dutch oven.

---

Add the beef stock , beer and enough water to cover if needed.

---

Bring to a boil , uncovered , and skim off any scum that rises to the surface.

---

Remove from heat and add spice packet , bay leaves and pepper corns , cover and transfer to the oven , braise until very tender about 3 hours and 45 minutes.

---

Remove from oven and transfer the brisket to a cutting board and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.

---

Add the cabbage , onions , carrots and potatoes and bring to a boil.

---

Lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender , about 20 minutes.

---

Slice the brisket across the grain of the meat into thin slices.

---

Serve with vegetables topped with cooking liquid.

---

Season to taste.
