  • 3–4 lbs corned beef brisket (with spice packet)

  • 5 cups beef broth or water

  • 1 lb baby red potatoes, halved

  • 4 medium carrots, peeled & cut into chunks

  • 3 celery stalks, chopped

  • ½ head green cabbage, cut into wedges

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 tsp black peppercorns (if no spice packet)

  • 1 bay leaf

🍲 Instructions

  1. Layer the ingredients: Place onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in the bottom of your slow cooker. Set corned beef on top, fat side up.

  2. Add seasoning: Sprinkle over the spice packet (or use peppercorns and bay leaf). Pour in beef broth until meat is mostly covered.

  3. Cook low & slow:

    • Low for 8–9 hours, or

    • High for 4–5 hours,
      until the beef is tender enough to shred easily with a fork.

  4. Add the cabbage: During the last 1½–2 hours, add the cabbage and potatoes on top. Continue cooking until all the veggies are tender.

  5. Serve: Remove the beef and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with veggies and broth, garnished with fresh parsley.

💡 Pro Tips

  • For extra flavor, replace 1 cup of broth with Guinness beer.

  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few potatoes in the broth before serving.

  • Save leftovers — they make amazing Reuben sandwiches or corned beef hash!
