Steps:
- Place the corned beef, pepper, allspice, bay leaves and salt into a large 8-quart pot along with 3-quarts of water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low and cook, at a low simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
- After 2 1/2 hours add the carrots, onions, potatoes and celery. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the cabbage and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are tender. Remove the bay leaves and serve immediately.
- Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
- After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

CHEF JOHN'S CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
It's almost St. Patrick's Day, and for many that means boiling up a nice authentic Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage. The original Irish recipe actually used a type of lean bacon, made with a cut of pork similar to Canadian bacon. Corned beef came into the picture as a lower-cost substitution, to replace the more expensive and harder to find cut.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of corned beef: Look for a brisket that is at least 3 pounds, with a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the corned beef: Corned beef is a forgiving cut of meat, but it can become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it until it is tender, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Use a large pot: You will need a large pot to fit the corned beef, the vegetables, and the cooking liquid. A 12-quart pot is a good size.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the corned beef and cabbage dinner. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and cabbage.
- Season the corned beef and vegetables well: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the corned beef and cabbage with your favorite sides: Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and Irish soda bread.
