Description
This is a very simple recipe that basically cooks itself with very little prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 medium red potatoes, halved
- 2 ribs celery
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 small carrots
- 3 ½ pounds corned beef brisket
- 1 tbsp pickling spice (spice packet)
- 2 cups beer (lager)
- 1 cup beef broth (or water if needed)
- ½ green cabbage, cored and sliced
Instructions
- Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and bay leaves to the slow cooker and pour in the beer and broth.
- Place the corned beef brisket on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the pickling spices. The liquid in the crock pot should come about halfway up the brisket. Add the carrots around it.
- Cook on the LOW setting for 8-10 hours. Uncover and add the cabbage pieces on top and cook for another 45 minutes on HIGH.
- Discard the celery and bay leaves. The corned beef is ready when you can easily pierce it with a knife.
- Reserve some of the cooking liquid to serve with. Rest the brisket, loosely covered, for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and enjoying with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
Notes
- For best results, do not lift the lid while cooking.
- You can substitute beer with more beef broth if desired.
