Step 2
2. Arrange the carrots, potatoes, onion wedges, and garlic cloves evenly around the brisket.
Step 3
3. Pour the 4 cups of water directly into the slow cooker, ensuring the brisket and vegetables are mostly submerged. Add the bay leaves to the mixture.

Step 5
5. After 7 hours, carefully lift the lid and add the cabbage wedges on top of the brisket and vegetables.
Step 6
6. Re-cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on low heat for 1 additional hour, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
Step 7
7. Once cooked, remove the corned beef brisket from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Step 8
8. Serve slices of corned beef alongside the cooked cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Spoon some of the flavorful cooking liquid over the top for added moisture and flavor.
