Description
A comforting slow cooker recipe featuring tender corned beef simmered with vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and potatoes for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
- 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into chunks (optional)
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 tablespoons pickling spices
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and chopping the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Quarter the onion and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside on a spacious cutting board.
- Unwrap the brisket from its packaging and rinse it under cold water to wash off excess brine. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
- Layer the bottom of your slow cooker with the quartered onion, followed by the carrots and potatoes.
- Carefully place the corned beef brisket on top, ensuring the fat side faces up.
- Pour in the beef broth and apple cider vinegar, then sprinkle the pickling spices evenly over the brisket. Add the smashed garlic cloves and some pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let it cook for 6-8 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, gently nestle the chopped cabbage on top of the brisket.
- Once the time has elapsed, carefully remove the brisket and place it on a cutting board to let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Chop vegetables and store in the fridge overnight. Use an electric pressure cooker if you’re short on time.
