Instructions

Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels.
Place onion wedges and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the corned beef brisket on top.
Sprinkle the included spice packet over the brisket. Add bay leaf and black peppercorns.
Pour beef broth around the brisket until mostly submerged. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours until tender.
Add potatoes and carrots during the last 2–3 hours of cooking on LOW (or 1–2 hours on HIGH).
Add cabbage wedges during the final 60–90 minutes, gently pressing them into the broth.
Once fork-tender, remove the corned beef and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
Slice against the grain and serve with vegetables and broth. Garnish with fresh parsley and optional Dijon mustard.

Notes

Cooking on LOW yields the most tender and flavorful brisket.

Yukon gold or baby potatoes can be substituted for red potatoes.

Add a splash of apple cider for a slightly sweeter broth.

Fresh thyme can be added for extra depth of flavor.

Store leftovers with broth to prevent drying out.

Freeze sliced corned beef with broth for up to 2 months.
