Instructions

1
Place the beef brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the pickling spice, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Pour in enough water to completely cover the brisket.
2
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Skim any foam that rises to the surface during the first hour of cooking.
3
After the brisket has cooked for 2.5 hours, add the quartered potatoes and carrot chunks to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4
Add the cabbage wedges to the pot, nestling them into the broth. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly firm.
5
Carefully remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Arrange the sliced beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage on a large platter. Serve immediately with a drizzle of the cooking broth, if desired.
