  ~- Beef brisket boiled with seasoning vegetables gives you the extra
  benefit of the broth to use as needed.  This broth freezes very well.
  ~---------------------------------------------------------------------
  ~--- Chop all vegetables quite coarsely. Put beef and vegetables in a
  large pot ( a stock pot is ideal) with cold water to cover.  Bring to
  a boil slowly over medium-low heat.  As the water boils, remove the
  froth that forms as much as possible. Lower heat to simmer, cover the
  pot, and cook for 3 hours.  The meat will be very tender and the
  broth a light brown.  Remove meat from the pot and use in any recipe
  that calls for boiled beef. Strain broth and use immediately or
  freeze for future use.
