Simmer the Corned Beef
Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover it with water. Don't forget to add the spice packet that came with the beef — it's what gives the meat its characteristic flavor.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for approximately 50 minutes per pound, or until the beef is fork-tender.
