Instructions
MAKE THE CORNED BEEF SEASONINGS
- Heat a small pan to medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, allspice berries, cardamom seeds, celery seeds, and whole cloves. Lightly toast them in the dry pan for 1 minute, shaking/stirring a bit, to let the spices bloom.
- Transfer to a food processor/spice grinder along with the red pepper flakes, ground ginger and bay leaves. Process to a coarse blend, or to your preferred consistency. Use as desired.
MAKE THE CORNED BEEF
- Trim the fat from the corned beef and rinse it thoroughly.
- Set the onion, potatoes, carrots, and garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the corned beef brisket over them.
- Add in your seasoning blend. I use the accompanying spice packet + the homemade corned beef spice blend. Use half of the blend for milder spice flavor.
- Pour in the beef broth (or dark beer), then pour in enough water to just cover the brisket. I like to leave a bit of space on top for the spice blend to stick.
- Turn on the slow cooker and cook for 5-6 hours on HIGH, or 8-10 hours on LOW. Your cooking times will vary depending on the size of the corned beef brisket.
- Add the cabbage (if using) during the last hour for crisp cabbage, or during the last 2 hours for tender cabbage.
- When the brisket is very tender, remove it and set it onto a tray, along with the potatoes and carrots. Slice the corned beef against the grain.
FOR THE GRAVY
- Strain out about a cup of the cooking liquid and discard the rest.
- Melt the butter in a pan then add the flour. Stir constantly over medium heat until the roux darkens a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved liquid until it thickens up. You can add more or less to your preferred thickness. Season it with salt and pepper, as desired.
- Drizzle the gravy over the corned beef and cabbage (potatoes, carrots) and serve.
