Ultimate Corned Beef and Cabbage image

Well, today is March 18th - and I think I might have finally aced a corned beef recipe that, not only do other people love, but I do too! (I'm not much of a corned beef fan) It's a combination of many recipes, including Alton Brown of the Cooking Channel and Dee 514 of the Zaar.

1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 small carrots, peeled and chopped
4 -5 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 lb celery, diced
1 head cabbage, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

This recipe is a waste of time. The corned beef was tough and the cabbage was mushy.

The cooking time for the corned beef was way too long. I ended up with dry, overcooked meat.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The meat and cabbage were both cooked to perfection. I served it with mashed potatoes and carrots, and it was a hit with my family.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of brown sugar to the cooking liquid. It gives the meat a slightly sweet flavor that I really enjoy.
