Corned beef is a traditional Irish dish made from brisket, a cut of beef from the breast or lower chest. The brisket is cured in a brine solution for several days or weeks, then simmered until tender. Corned beef is often served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and other root vegetables. This hearty and flavorful dish is a popular choice for St. Patrick's Day celebrations, but it can be enjoyed year-round.
This article features two recipes for slow-cooker corned beef: a classic recipe and a recipe for corned beef with Guinness. The classic recipe uses simple ingredients like corned beef brisket, water, pickling spices, and vegetables. The Guinness recipe adds a rich, malty flavor to the corned beef by using Guinness beer in the braising liquid. Both recipes are easy to follow and result in fall-apart tender corned beef that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal.

SLOW COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
Corned beef - brisket cured in brine - is beloved for its big, salty, aromatic flavor. It needs to be braised or simmered for a long time to become tender and sliceable, making it an ideal slow cooker dish. Get a corned beef made from flat-cut brisket, if you can, as it will be easier to slice into neat, uniform slabs. (The point cut has more striations of fat and may fall apart when sliced.) Corned beef is often braised in beer, and you could certainly do that, but a slightly sweet wine, like a semi-dry Riesling, balances the beef's saltiness. Finish with a simple honey-mustard glaze and a quick trip under the broiler. Serve this satisfying one-pot meal with mustard and enjoy with beer. (Here are pressure cooker and oven versions of the recipe.)

Steps:
- Remove the corned beef from its packaging in the sink and reserve the spice packet. Rinse the beef well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. (If you don't rinse off the brine, the meat will be too salty.) If there is a substantial fat cap on top of the beef, place the beef on a cutting board and trim most of it, if you'd like. (The fat will not completely render away during cooking.) Be sure to leave at least a thin layer of fat on top, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, to keep the meat moist.
- Transfer the corned beef into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the fat cap facing up. Add the wine and the spices from the packet. Cook on high for 4 hours.
- Reduce the heat to low. Baste the beef with the cooking liquid. Drop the potatoes and carrots into the liquid surrounding the beef. Lay the cabbage wedges on top. Cook on low for 4 hours, or until the vegetables and beef are tender. (A paring knife should slip easily into the beef, though the meat shouldn't be falling apart.)
- Heat the broiler to high. Stir together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Using tongs, remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and put it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Spread the honey-mustard all over the top and sides of the beef and place it under the broiler. Cook until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes in spots, about 3 minutes.
- Let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes then slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch slabs. Place the beef slices on the serving platter alongside the vegetables and drizzle everything with a little bit of the cooking liquid. Taste the vegetables, and season them with flaky sea salt, if necessary. (The beef will not need to be seasoned with salt.) Season the beef and vegetables to taste with black pepper. Serve with Dijon mustard.

Steps:
- Place the corned beef in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add enough hot water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours.
- Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker and keep warm. Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil another cup of cooking liquid in a small skillet until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Mix with the horseradish and creme fraeche in a small bowl.
- Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage and sauce; reserve about a quarter each of the meat and vegetables and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for Corned Beef Hash.

Steps:
- Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, garlic and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth and tie tightly with butcher's twine to make a sachet. Put the corned beef in a slow cooker and pour enough water over it until just submerged (2 to 3 quarts). Add the sachet and brown sugar and cook until the meat is just tender, 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
- Two hours (on low) or 1 hour (on high) before the corned beef is done, add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage on top of the meat, making sure the veggies are submerged. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender; if the beef is fork-tender and fully cooked but the vegetables still need time, remove the beef and tent with foil, then continue to cook the veggies until tender.
- Transfer the veggies to a bowl using a spider or slotted spoon and immediately toss with the rice wine vinegar.
- Slice the corned beef and plate with an assortment of the veggies and some Horseradish Mustard. Garnish with the chives.
- Combine the mustard, horseradish and brown sugar in a medium bowl and mix together until blended. Add more horseradish for extra burn!

Steps:
- Pour 1 1/2 quarts of cold water and the apple juice into a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the maple syrup, Instacure, mustard seeds, peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of the caraway seeds, the allspice berries, bay leaves, and 1/2 cup salt. Cook for 3 minutes at a rapid boil; then remove from the heat. Add the ice and wait for the brine to cool to room temperature.
- Place the brisket in a large container and cover it fully with the brine. (If you have an extra-large sealable plastic bag, those work really well, keeping the meat fully immersed in the brine.) Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 1 week.
- After that week, remove the brisket from the brine and strain the brine, saving the spices and bay leaves and discarding the liquid. Set the brisket aside on a plate.
- Preheat a large slow cooker on the low setting for at least 20 minutes.
- In large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions and cook for 15 minutes, turning them once in a while, until they are well browned and a touch charred.
- Place the brisket in the slow cooker and add the charred onions, miso, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and the strained spices and bay leaves. Add enough room-temperature water to cover the brisket by 2 inches. Cover with the lid and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the brisket is really tender-a paring knife should plunge into the meat with little resistance. Skim off any fat that has risen to the surface.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. When it begins to bubble and froth, add the cabbage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine; then let the cabbage char for 2 minutes to develop some color. Toss the cabbage and cook for another 2 minutes. Then transfer it to a large platter.
- Remove the brisket from the slow cooker, taking care to keep it in one piece. Place it on top of the cabbage on the platter, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then slice it into 1/2-inch-thick slabs, against the grain. It will be very tender, and it may fall apart. That's okay. We want that. Add the potatoes to the platter. Garnish with the fresh dill and the Pickled Mustard Seeds.

Steps:
- 1. Coat slow cooker liner with non-stick cooking spray. Place corned beef in slow cooker. Sprinkle contents of seasoning packet over meat.
- 2. Add potatoes, carrots, garlic and bay leaf on top of meat. Pour the beer over all.
- 3. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
- 4. When cook time is done, remove meat to cutting board Slice against grain to serve. Serve with vegies.
- 5. NOTE: If you want cabbage, it can be cooked separately on stove top (my preferred method) or added in slices to the slow cooker during the last 10-60 minutes of cook time.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Cut of Corned Beef: Opt for a brisket cut, which is known for its rich flavor and tenderness when cooked slowly.
- Rinsing the Corned Beef: Before cooking, rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt.
- Using a Slow Cooker: A slow cooker is ideal for cooking corned beef as it allows for low and slow cooking, resulting in fall-apart tender meat.
- Adding Vegetables: Enhance the flavor of the corned beef by including vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and cabbage during the cooking process.
- Spices and Seasonings: Experiment with different spices and seasonings to customize the flavor of the corned beef. Common choices include garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and thyme.
- Cooking Time: The cooking time for corned beef in a slow cooker typically ranges from 8 to 10 hours on low or 4 to 6 hours on high. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the corned beef.
- Checking for Tenderness: To ensure that the corned beef is fall-apart tender, insert a fork or toothpick into the meat. If it slides in easily, the meat is ready.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the corned beef with traditional accompaniments such as boiled potatoes, cabbage, and horseradish sauce. You can also shred the meat and use it in sandwiches or salads.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker corned beef is an easy and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed for St. Patrick's Day or any other occasion. Using a slow cooker allows for effortless cooking, resulting in tender and juicy meat that melts in your mouth. Experiment with different spices and vegetables to create a customized corned beef dish that suits your taste preferences. Serve with classic accompaniments or use the shredded meat in sandwiches and salads for a versatile and delicious meal.
