Instructions

Rinse the brisket under cold water and place it in a large soup pot or Dutch oven, covering it fully with water.
Add pickling spice, bay leaves, garlic, and cinnamon to the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover slightly ajar, and let it simmer for 3 hours.
Check if the brisket is cooked by using a fork, then transfer it to a pan or cutting board to cool, leaving the broth in the pot.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve and discard spices, returning the liquid to the pot.
Add carrots, potatoes, and onion into the strained liquid and bring to a boil before reducing to low for 30 minutes.
Nestle cabbage into the liquid, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all vegetables are fork-tender.
Mix in dijon mustard once the vegetables are cooked and well combined.
Trim excess fat from the cooled brisket and slice against the grain.
Serve sliced brisket on a platter accompanied by ladled vegetables and cooking liquid.

Notes

You can add more vegetables like parsnips or turnips based on your preference.
For a spicier broth, incorporate red pepper flakes during cooking.
Make sure to slice the brisket against the grain for the best texture.
