5 -6 lbs corned beef brisket |
1 medium head of cabbage, cored and quartered |
2 onions, peeled and quartered |
5 peppercorns |

Directions:

2. Pour beer over the brisket and add water until the meat is covered by the liquid.

4. Cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low for a gentle boil.
5. Cook for 4 hours or until meat is fork-tender, skimming foam occasionally.
