1

Combine the corned beef and spice packet contents, water, onion, carrots, celery, and salt in a large pot or Dutch oven; bring to a gentle simmer, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
2

Cover the pot, lower the heat to low, and simmer until the meat is nearly fork-tender, about 3 hours. Add the potatoes and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are almost tender, about 30 minutes more.
3

Arrange the cabbage pieces on and around the meat, cover the pot, and simmer until the cabbage is tender, 20 to 30 minutes more.
4

Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice across the grain and serve in a bowl; ladle the vegetables and broth over the top.

Serve and enjoy.
