Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage
Make sure to soak the pre-packaged corned beef briskets in cold water for 4 hours. They are extremely salty, and soaking them will pull the excess salt out of the meat.
TIP:Don’t pour the seasoning packet into the broth or onto the meat. Instead, tie it up in a cheese cloth and let the flavors seep into the broth. This saves time later by not having to strain the broth to remove any peppercorns, or seasonings.
