Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, add corned beef and cover with enough water to fully submerge.
Add bay leaf, onion, and carrot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
Cover and cook 2 - 3 hours or until done, fork tender, and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Remove from liquid and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
Reserve cooking broth, if desired.

In a frying pan, fry bacon until just crisp.
Add onion, saute until onion is translucent.
Add cabbage and cook until warmed and wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
Just before removing from heat, add malt vinegar and toss to coat

Remove cabbage from heat and spread evenly on a serving platter.
