Ingredients
- 3.5 pounds corned beef brisket
- 4 cups water
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 pieces black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped into 2-inch chunks
- 6 medium Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- 1 head cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- 0.25 cups mustard (for serving, optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the corned beef brisket into the slow cooker, fat-side up. Sprinkle the seasoning packet (if included with your brisket) over the top.
Step 2
Add the quartered onion, minced garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves around the brisket.
Step 3
Pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged.
Step 4
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
Step 5
After 7 hours, add the carrots and halved potatoes to the slow cooker, arranging them around the brisket.
Step 6
Place the cabbage wedges on top of the vegetables and brisket. Replace the lid and continue cooking on LOW for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the corned beef is fork-tender.
Step 7
Carefully remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Step 8
Serve the corned beef with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and offer mustard on the side for added flavor.
