Description
Easy Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Cabbage is a tender, comforting Irish-American classic made with brisket, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage, finished with garlic herb butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 pounds corned beef brisket, with seasoning packet
- 2 large onions, cut into quarters
- 3 bay leaves
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 pounds small potatoes, halved if large
- 3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large green cabbage (or 2 small), cut into wedges
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Lightly coat a 7- to 8-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Remove the corned beef from its packaging and save the seasoning packet. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
- Spread the onion quarters across the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the corned beef on top, fat side up. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat.
- Add the bay leaves and crushed garlic over the brisket. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the meat.
- In a measuring cup, whisk together the broth and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker around the meat and vegetables. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the liquid.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
- Add the cabbage wedges, gently pressing them into the cooking liquid. Cover and cook on low for an additional 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and slices easily.
- Carefully transfer the corned beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
- To prepare the garlic herb butter, combine the butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl. Heat in short intervals in the microwave, stirring between each, until melted and fragrant.
- Drizzle the garlic herb butter over the sliced corned beef and vegetables before serving. Spoon some of the cooking broth over the top if desired.
