Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe - Step 2

Ingredients

3–4 pounds corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
1 medium head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1–2 tablespoons pickling spices (or contents of seasoning packet)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1

1. Place the corned beef brisket fat-side up in a 6-quart slow cooker. If your brisket came with a seasoning packet, sprinkle it over the meat along with the additional pickling spices.

Step 2

2. Arrange the quartered onion and smashed garlic cloves around the beef. Pour the beef broth and apple cider vinegar over everything.

Step 3

3. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours. The beef should be becoming tender but not quite falling apart.

Step 4

4. After 7 hours, add the potato chunks and carrot pieces to the slow cooker, nestling them around the meat. Continue cooking on low for 1 more hour.

Step 5

5. Add the cabbage wedges during the final 30 minutes of cooking. Position them around the meat and vegetables, allowing them to steam in the flavorful broth.

Step 6

6. When cooking is complete, remove the corned beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 7

7. Arrange the sliced corned beef on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the cooking liquid over everything and garnish with fresh parsley.

You Must Know

✓For extra-tender corned beef, cook on low for the full 8–9 hours without adding vegetables until the last 2 hours
✓If you prefer firmer vegetables, add potatoes and carrots at the 6-hour mark and cabbage at the 7.5-hour mark
✓The fat cap on corned beef keeps it moist during cooking—don't trim it off before slow cooking

Serving Suggestions

Serve with crusty Irish soda bread or rye bread to soak up the flavorful broth. Offer grainy mustard, horseradish sauce, or a simple parsley-mustard butter on the side. This dish pairs beautifully with a pint of Irish stout or a crisp lager.
