Copper Chef Slow Cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage

Slow Cooker Corned Beef & Cabbage

Why to they call it Corned Beef?

Corned Beef is a beef brisket that has been cured with salt. It has nothing to do with corn. Corning refers to the curing process and the large rock salt the size of corn kernels used in said process. Curing was an great way of preserving meat before the luxury of refrigeration.

We still enjoy many cured meat to this day. People of that era would certainly be shocked with all of our modern conveniences.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Place corned beef in a slow cooker fat side up.

Peel onion and cut into fourths or eighths, and place on top of the corned beef. Add garlic cloves, peppercorns and bay leaves on top. Just barely cover with water (you can add a beer in place of some of the water if you wish).

Put the lid on the slow cooker, turn temperature to high and cook for 4-5 hours (or 8 hours on low).

Then add the carrots and cabbage and cook for another hour.

If you want the full traditional Irish Boiled Dinner, you could add potatoes at the same time as the carrots and cabbage, but I prefer to cook my potatoes separately to add another flavor to the plate.

If you're not adding potatoes to the crockpot, You can try one of these options: Boil small potatoes, drain and then toss them in butter, salt, pepper and chopped fresh parsley or these Dill Smashed Potatoes are a great option and have become my hubby's new favorite. Or, there's always good ol' Mashed Potatoes.

Pepé is both showing off his new kilt and admiring our beautiful and perfectly slow cooked corned beef and cabbage dinner with these delicious dill smashed baby potatoes on the side.

To serve Corned Beef, cut across the grain. Optional: Serve with sour cream horseradish sauce or grainy mustard.

Another great meal that would fit with the Irish theme are these awesome Bangers and Mash with Fried Cabbage.
