- 3 to 4 pounds corned beef brisket
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 ½ to 3 cups water
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 2 carrots
- 1 small head green cabbage
Prepare the Beef: Rinse the corned beef under cold water and place it fat-side up in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the spice packet over the meat, then add the onion, garlic, and bay leaves. Pour in enough water to partially cover the brisket.
Slow Cook the Beef: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the beef is fork-tender. Avoid opening the lid too often.
Add the Vegetables: With 2 hours left, add the potatoes and carrots around the beef. Let them cook in the flavorful broth.
Cook the Cabbage: With 45 minutes left, place the cabbage wedges on top. Cover and continue cooking until tender but not mushy.
Rest and Slice: Remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain for tenderness.
