Description

Savor the comforting flavors of tender corned beef, vibrant cabbage, and creamy potatoes in this hearty dish that’s perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 brisket of corned beef (approximately 3 to 4 lbs)
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 2 cups fresh carrots (cut into sticks)
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Spice packet (included with corned beef)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat it dry and place it in a large pot or slow cooker.
  2. Pour enough beef broth over the corned beef until it is fully submerged.
  3. Open the spice packet and sprinkle the spices over the meat.
  4. Cover your pot and bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about three hours until fork-tender.
  5. After three hours, add quartered potatoes and chopped carrots around the corned beef. Cover again and let it cook for another hour.
  6. In the final half hour of cooking, add wedges of cabbage on top of everything in your pot. Cover once more and let steam until tender yet crisp.
  7. Serve hot, drizzling some broth over everything, and enjoy!
