Corned Beef and Cabbage Slow Cooker
Description
In this recipe, a 3-pound corned beef brisket is placed in a slow cooker covered with beef broth and water, seasoned with thyme and the included peppercorn pack. Potatoes and carrots are added on top and the dish cooks on high for 6 to 7 hours. Cabbage wedges are added to cook during the final hour, softening without overcooking.
The long slow cooking breaks down the brisket, making it tender and flavorful, while the vegetables cook through and take on the salted, spiced broth. The layering allows the vegetables to steam partly in the flavorful liquid coming from the meat and broth.
Serving involves slicing the brisket against the grain into thin slices to maintain tenderness. Additional cooking liquid may be added when serving to moisten the meat slices. This dish fits well for a comforting dinner where both protein and vegetables come from one pot with minimal active cooking time.
