Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef brisket
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 large celery stalks, cut into chunks
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 10 small baby red potatoes, halved
- 1 head green cabbage, cut into wedges
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon pickling spice (optional)
Instructions
Place the corned beef brisket in the bottom of a large Crock Pot, fat side up.
Sprinkle the pickling spice (if using) over the brisket, or use the spice packet provided with the corned beef.
Add the minced garlic, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Pour the beef broth and water over the brisket until it is mostly submerged.
Layer the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes over the brisket in the pot.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours.
After 7 hours of cooking, add the cabbage wedges on top of the vegetables in the pot.
In a small bowl, mix the whole grain mustard with a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid, then spread it over the top of the cabbage.
Recover the lid and continue cooking for the remaining hour, or until the brisket is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Carefully remove the corned beef from the Crock Pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked vegetables and a ladle of the flavorful broth.
