Optional Ideas

• If you like a smokey flavor, use the smoked sea salt, if not use the pink salt.
• Do not use real corn beef, it is brined and that is not allowed on the diet.
• Place some broth in a soup bowl, add your cooked onion for a delicious onion soup.
• Make a gravy, place 1 cup of hot broth in a saucepan, add 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of Xantham gum, whisk vigorously until thickened.  Pour over your beef, cabbage, and onion.
