Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 lbs. corned beef brisket (flat or point cut), (with seasoning packet that is included)
- 1 white onion, sliced, (this is optional but good!)
- 2 lbs. red or gold potatoes, (or a mixture of both!) peel them if you'd like!
- 3 carrots, sliced thick
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 head cabbage, cut into thin wedges
- 1 1/2 cup water, (or see notes below for other liquid ideas)
- parsley for garnish
- melted butter for potatoes if desired
- horseradish or stone-ground mustard
Instructions
- Add the sliced onion to the slow cooker.
- Rinse the corned beef and pat dry. Place it in the slow cooker and sprinkle the seasoning packet on top.
- Layer the baby potatoes atop the corned beef. If larger, cut them in half to ensure tenderness. Add the carrots and garlic as well.
- Pour in the water. If you want the cabbage ultra-tender, add it now; otherwise, wait for the last 2 hours to add it.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours (add the cabbage during the last 2 hours). Adjust items in the pot as needed for space.
- Once cooked, remove the meat onto a cutting board (letting it rest for 10 minutes) and slice it against the grain into strips.
- Serve the meat alongside the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
- Optionally drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and serve with horseradish or stone ground mustard.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using low-sodium broth instead of water.
Let the meat rest before slicing to retain juices and tenderness.
Adjust the vegetables based on your preference; feel free to add others like parsnips or turnips.
