Rinse the beef and place in a large kettle. 

Cover with water (DO NOT add salt!).  Empty seasoning packet that comes in the package and add that to the water.  Cover the pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 3-3 ½ hours, until the beef is fork tender.

Cut the potatoes in half and add to the pot. 

Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the potatoes are almost done – about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.

Cut the cabbage in wedges, the onion in quarters and the carrots in 2-3 inch segments.  Add to the pot and continue to cook until everything is very tender, about 15 to 20 more minutes

Remove the beef from the pot and place on a plate to cool slightly.  Turn heat up to high and let the liquid boil for about 5 minutes.

Slice the beef and serve with the potatoes and vegetables covered with a bit of the liquid.
