Cooking corned beef on the stove top is a quicker option than the slow cooker. Place your corned beef brisket into a large pot of water mixed with our Corned Beef Spice and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook uncovered on low heat for 1.5 - 2 hours, or 30 minutes per pound. Halfway through the cooking time, add in the potatoes of your choice (we like to use red) and place the cabbage in a steamer basket on top of the corned beef pot and cook until tender.
