Ingredients
- 1 pound Corned beef
- 8 cups Water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 cup Soup vegetables (carrots, celery, onion) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Place the corned beef in a large pot and cover it completely with cold water. Ensure there is enough water to cover the meat well.
- 2Bring the water to a slow boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes or more per pound of corned beef. Add soup vegetables during the last hour of cooking.
- 3If you plan to use the corned beef a second time, trim it to a good shape. Place it back in the water it was boiled in and heat it through. Then, set it aside to cool in the water under pressure. Place a plate or deep dish on top of the meat, and weigh it down with a flat-iron or heavy object. The water should not rise above the meat enough to wet the iron. When cooled under pressure, the meat will be more firm and cut better into slices.
