Steps:

Place corned beef into oven bag.
Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
Shake to mix.
Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
Slice and serve hot.
(Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.
