Ingredients

• 3 pounds Corned beef brisket
• 4 cups Water
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 large Carrots
• 1.5 pounds Red potatoes
• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Pickling spice blend

Directions

Step 1

Place the corned beef brisket into the slow cooker with the fatty side facing up.

Step 2

Pour the water over the brisket to ensure it is mostly submerged. If it’s not, add a little more water.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the slow cooker along with the bay leaves.

Step 4

Sprinkle the pickling spice blend over the top of the brisket.

Step 5

Peel and quarter the onion, then add it to the slow cooker.

Step 6

Peel the carrots and cut them into large chunks (about 2 inches). Add them to the slow cooker.

Step 7

Scrub the red potatoes clean and halve them (or leave them whole if small). Add them to the slow cooker.

Step 8

Season with ground black pepper, keeping salt to a minimum as the corned beef is typically already salty.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8-9 hours, or until the corned beef is fork-tender.

Step 10

Roughly 30 minutes before cooking is completed, core and cut the cabbage into wedges and add it to the slow cooker on top of the other vegetables.

Step 11

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Once cooking is complete, remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into thin slices.

Step 13

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Serve with the sliced corned beef and ladle some of the cooking broth over everything for extra flavor.
