Instructions

Place allspice, peppercorns, bay leaves, and thyme in a tied cheesecloth bag.
Put corned beef, the seasoning bag, onion, and garlic in a large pot. Add beef broth and enough water to cover, then bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
Transfer corned beef to a cutting board, cover with foil, and keep warm.
Skim fat from the broth.
Add potatoes and carrots to the broth, adjusting liquid level if needed. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 10 minutes.
Add cabbage wedges and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
Transfer cooked vegetables to a platter and keep warm.
If making the optional mustard sauce, reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid.
For the optional mustard sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the reserved cooking liquid and heavy cream, then whisk in grainy mustard. Optionally, add prepared horseradish to taste.
Slice corned beef and serve with vegetables and mustard sauce; optionally garnish with parsley.
