  5. Add potatoes and carrots.
Cooking

  2. Add cabbage wedges in the last 30 minutes of cooking time for tender cabbage or the last hour for softer cabbage.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding bay leaves or garlic. You can also add brown sugar or honey for a sweeter taste. Ensure you slice the corned beef against the grain for more tender slices.
