Description

A tender, fall-apart corned beef and cabbage slow cooker recipe that fills your home with incredible aromas. This foolproof method ensures perfectly cooked meat with soft but not mushy vegetables, making it ideal for St. Patrick’s Day or any weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 large head green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes, halved
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

Instructions

  1. Remove corned beef from packaging and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Place onion quarters and garlic in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Place corned beef on top of onions, fat side up.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat, add bay leaves, peppercorns, and mustard seeds.
  5. Pour water around the brisket until it comes halfway up the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
  7. Add potatoes and carrots around the meat during the last 3 hours of cooking on LOW or last 2 hours on HIGH.
  8. Add cabbage wedges during the last 1-2 hours of cooking.
  9. Remove corned beef and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  10. Serve sliced corned beef with vegetables and cooking liquid spooned over top.

Notes

  • Always slice corned beef against the grain for the most tender results.
  • Don’t add all vegetables at the start – stagger them to prevent mushiness.
  • The fat side should face up to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Save the cooking liquid to drizzle over leftovers.
  • Leftover corned beef makes excellent hash or sandwiches.
  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the cooking liquid.
