How to Make Home Corned Beef Brisket Cabbage New England Style

  1. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup kosher salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, and 2 bay leaves.
  2. Using a meat fork or metal skewers, pierce the brisket approximately 30 times on each side.
  3. Evenly rub the salt mixture onto both sides of the brisket.
  4. Place the brisket in a 2-gallon resealable freezer bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Seal the bag tightly.
  5. Place the bag in a large roasting pan. Top with another pan of similar size and weight down with two bricks or heavy cans (approximately 10 lbs total weight).
  6. Refrigerate for 5-7 days, turning the bag once a day.
  7. Remove the brisket from the bag, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels.
  8. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, submerge the brisket in enough water to cover it by 1/2 to 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
  9. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the brisket slides out easily.
  10. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  11. Transfer the cooked brisket to a large platter. Ladle about 1 cup of the cooking liquid over the brisket to keep it moist.
  12. Cover the platter with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
  13. Add the vegetables from Category 1 (carrots, rutabagas, turnips, and new potatoes) to the stockpot. Bring to a boil.
  14. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  15. Add the vegetables from Category 2 (boiling onions, cabbage, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts) to the stockpot. Bring to a boil.
  16. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
  17. While the vegetables simmer, remove the brisket from the oven and slice it thinly (1/4-inch thick) across the grain.
  18. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the platter with the sliced brisket. Moisten with additional cooking broth from the pot as needed.
  19. Serve immediately and enjoy!
