Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 4 cups water
- 1.5 pounds small red potatoes
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 1 small green cabbage, cut into wedges
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
Place the brisket in the bottom of a large slow cooker (6-7 quarts). Sprinkle the spice packet (included with the brisket) evenly over the top.
Pour 4 cups of water into the slow cooker to ensure the brisket is mostly submerged.
Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and minced garlic around the brisket.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender.
During the last 2 hours of cooking, carefully lift the lid and add the cabbage wedges on top of the vegetables. Re-cover and continue cooking.
Once done, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables and cabbage. If desired, provide Dijon mustard on the side for dipping or spreading.
