1 (3-4-lb.) corned beef brisket
2 lb. russet potatoes, scrubbed, quartered
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 large green cabbage, cut through the core into 8 wedges
4 whole cloves
1 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp. peppercorns
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
6 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
1 cup finely chopped dill
Special Equipment
A mortar and pestle

Steps:

Place corned beef in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2" and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 3-3 1/2 hours.
Once beef has been simmering for 2 1/2 hours, arrange racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toss potatoes, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub cabbage wedges with 1/4 cup oil; season on all sides with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Arrange on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning cabbage, tossing potatoes, and rotating sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 45-40 minutes. (The cabbage might be done before the potatoes.)
Meanwhile, coarsely crush cloves, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 3/4 cup oil and cook, stirring, until garlic sizzles, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Stir in vinegar, honey, and 2 tsp. salt. Let cool, then stir in dill.
Transfer beef to a cutting board and let sit 10 minutes. Trim off excess fat, then thinly slice against the grain. Serve alongside roasted cabbage and potatoes with dill sauce drizzled over.
