Instructions
- Place corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven. Pour in beer and water so meat is covered by 1-2 inches. Add coriander seeds, bay leaves, chile pepper and allspice.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 2 hours then check the beef by tasting or inserting a knife. If it shows no resistance, it is tender. If not, continue to cook until tender. Remove beef.
- Add vegetables and cook at a slow boil for 20 minutes or until the cabbage is done and the potatoes and root vegetables are tender.
