I bought a package of pickled corned beef on sale and after googling some videos I realized it was really easy to boil the 1.5 pounds of meat for a couple of hours in water and adding potatoes, carrots and cabbage wedges for an extra half an hour. Be sure to slice the now tender meat against the grain.
It was delicious and quite good for diabetics such as my husband to eat. The saltiness of the corned beef goes so well with cabbage and is a simple and classic combination.
