Ingredients

  • 3–4 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 4 cups water or beef broth (enough to nearly cover)
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 small potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 head cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Place corned beef brisket in the slow cooker, fat side up.
  2. Sprinkle the spice packet evenly over the brisket.
  3. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns around the meat.
  4. Pour in enough water or beef broth to nearly cover the brisket.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours until tender.
  6. Add carrots and potatoes during the last 3–4 hours of cooking.
  7. Add cabbage wedges during the final 1–2 hours.
  8. Remove brisket and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
  9. Slice against the grain and serve with vegetables and broth.

Notes

  • Rinse brisket before cooking to reduce saltiness if desired.
