Description
A hearty and comforting dish featuring tender corned beef brisket, vibrant vegetables, and flavorful seasonings, all slow-cooked in a crock pot.
Ingredients
- 10 medium red potatoes, halved
- 2 ribs celery
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 small carrots
- 3½ pounds corned beef brisket
- 1 tbsp pickling spice
- 2 cups beer (lager) or chicken broth
- 1 cup beef broth or water
- ½ green cabbage, cored and sliced
Instructions
- Add the halved potatoes, carrots, celery, and bay leaves into the slow cooker.
- Pour in the beer and broth, ensuring the vegetables are well-covered.
- Carefully place the corned beef brisket on top of the potatoes and sprinkle the pickling spices over it.
- Make sure the cooking liquid rises to halfway up the brisket. If not, add more broth or water.
- Surround the brisket with the carrots, tucking them in nicely.
- Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 480-600 minutes (8-10 hours).
- Add the cabbage on top of the brisket, and cook for an additional 45 minutes on HIGH.
- Discard the celery and bay leaves when done. The brisket is ready when easily pierced with a knife.
- Reserve some cooking liquid to serve for added moisture and flavor.
- Let the brisket rest for about 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs or different liquid like apple cider. Rest the brisket before slicing for juicy results.
