Create a tender, flavorful corned beef brisket with classic cabbage and potatoes using your slow cooker. This easy method ensures a juicy roast perfect for any family dinner or St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) corned beef brisket, with spice packet
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1.5 pounds small red potatoes, halved
  • 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 cups beef broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Place the onion wedges in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, on top of the onions. Sprinkle the contents of the spice packet over the meat.
  3. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the brisket in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the beef broth or water into the slow cooker around the vegetables.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
  6. About 45 minutes before the cooking time ends, place the cabbage wedges on top of the meat and vegetables. Cover and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender.
  7. Remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  8. Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables. You can use the cooking liquid to make a simple gravy if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra flavorful liquid, substitute the beef broth with 2 cups of Guinness stout when cooking.
  • If you want crispy edges, remove the corned beef after resting and place it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
  • Save your leftover corned beef to make a classic Reuben Sandwich or Corned Beef Hash the next day.
