Print Recipe

Tender and flavorful corned beef made in the slow cooker, perfect for family dinners or special occasions like St. Patrick’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-4 lb) corned beef with spice packet (flat cut recommended)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 small red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 head cabbage, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Corned Beef: Take the meat out of its packaging and give it a good rinse under cold water.
  2. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Place your rinsed brisket in your slow cooker with the fat cap facing up.
  3. Add Liquid and Seasonings: Pour 4 cups of beef broth over the meat and sprinkle the contents of the seasoning packet evenly across the top.
  4. Begin the Long, Slow Cook: Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 8-9 hours.
  5. Add Root Vegetables: About halfway through cooking, toss in your prepared carrots, potatoes, and onion.
  6. Add Cabbage: About an hour before you’re ready to eat, add the chopped cabbage.
  7. Test for Doneness: The corned beef is ready when it easily pulls apart with a fork or reaches approximately 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  8. Rest Before Slicing: Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

  • Using beef broth instead of water enhances the flavor of the dish.
  • Slicing against the grain ensures tender slices.
  • Slow cooker liners can help with easy cleanup.
  • If the dish is too salty, consider an extended rinsing method or using a mix of water and broth as a cooking liquid.
