Description

A hearty and flavorful traditional dish featuring tender corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes slow-cooked to perfection.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 34 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 1 small head green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion in the bottom of a large slow cooker.
  2. Place the corned beef brisket on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with the spice packet, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
  3. Pour the beef broth and water over the meat and vegetables.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours or on high for 4–5 hours.
  5. Add the cabbage wedges during the last 2 hours of cooking on low or last hour on high.
  6. Remove the corned beef and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve the sliced corned beef with the vegetables and a ladle of broth.

Notes

  • Trim excess fat from the brisket before cooking if desired.
  • Leftovers make great sandwiches or hash the next day.
  • You can add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a touch of sugar to the cabbage for extra flavor.
