Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 lb. beef brisket with seasoning packet for corned beef
  • 3 to 4 large cabbage leaves (use the outer layers of a head of cabbage)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 4 to 6 cups beef stock or water
  • 1 bunch carrots, peeling is optional
  • 1 small head cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 8 to 10 small potatoes, cut in half (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of the slow cooker with the cabbage leaves and onions.
  2. Add the beef brisket.
  3. Sprinkle on the pickling spice packet.
  4. Pour in enough beef stock or water to almost cover the beef.

  7. Add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage wedges to a baking sheet.
  8. Coat with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • If desired, rinse the corned beef brisket before cooking to remove any excess salt.
  • If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add more spices and herbs to the slow cooker.
  • Set the slow cooker to LOW, for best results.
  • Make sure the corned beef is almost fully submerged in beef broth or water before cooking to prevent it from drying out.
  • As an alternative to roasting, add the vegetables to the slow cooker in the last hour of cook time.
  • If you want your vegetables to have a caramelized finish, broil them for a few minutes after roasting.
  • This corned beef and cabbage recipe yields approximately, 6 to 8 servings.
