SWEET TASTING CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Fill your pot with water and then add in beef brisket making sure the the water fully submerges meat completely.
• If a small part of the meat is showing that is fine.
• But you ideally want to submerge the whole thing.
• You can use any amount of corn beef brisket.
• Next add in the spice package that came with your corn beef and only 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of vinegar.
• Let this boil about 2 and a half hours to 3 hours, checking back every so often to make sure the beef is still covered in water.
• Keep adding as much water as you need to keep the beef submerged.
• During the last hour, slice your cabbage up into fairly large/medium pieces and add in your cabbage before potatoes because you want your cabbage to be soft.
• Chop potatoes into cubes and add in those as well.
• Cook your potatoes and cabbage to your desired softness.
• Voila' you're done!
• Please be sure to use a very big, big pot. This may boil over because you are combining all these large ingredients. A regular big pot to make beef stew will be too small.
• Serving size depends on how much you will eat of it and how big your meat is. I go back for 3rds sometimes so it's hard to say. Enjoy!
