Instructions
Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess salt.

Add mustard seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaf, onion, and garlic to the pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.
Remove the corned beef from the pot and cover to keep warm.
In the same pot, add potatoes and carrots. Cook for about 15 minutes.
Add the cabbage wedges and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
