- 3–4 lb corned beef brisket (with spice packet)
 
- 10 cups water (or beef broth)
 
- 1 onion, quartered
 
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
 
- 3 celery stalks, cut into chunks
 
- 5–6 small red potatoes, halved
 
- 1 bay leaf
 
- ½ tsp peppercorns
 
- For the creamy horseradish sauce:
 
- ½ cup sour cream
 
- 2 Tbsp prepared horseradish (adjust to taste)
 
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
 
- 1 tsp lemon juice
 
- Salt & pepper, to taste
 
		 
		
	 
	
		
		
			
- Rinse corned beef under cold water and trim excess fat.
 
- Place corned beef in a large pot or Dutch oven; add water or broth, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns, and spice packet.
 
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer gently for 2¼–2½ hours, until meat is tender.
 
- Add carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Continue simmering, covered, for another 30–40 minutes until vegetables are tender.
 
- Meanwhile, whisk together sour cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
 
- Remove corned beef from pot and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
 
- Serve sliced beef alongside vegetables, drizzled or dipped in creamy horseradish sauce.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Use beef broth instead of water for richer flavor.
 
- Adjust horseradish in sauce depending on desired heat level.
 
- Leftover brisket and veggies reheat beautifully in soups or hash.
 
- Flavor improves if sauce is made a few hours ahead to let flavors meld.
