Ingredients
- 1 corned (brined) beef brisket (3 to 4 pounds, see Notes)
- 3 tablespoons Frontier Co-op® Organic Pickling Spice
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
Directions
- In a large stock pot, combine corned beef, pickling spice and vegetables. Add enough water to cover ingredients by 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 2 to 3 hours, until beef is tender.
- Remove beef from pot and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut beef against the grain into thin slices.
- You can buy your brisket pre-brined or complete this process yourself using a trusted recipe (if you choose to brine it yourself, plan for the process to take several days).
- Many pre-brined briskets come with a seasoning packet. For this recipe, leave out the seasoning packet and use Frontier Organic Pickling Spice blend instead.
