Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 hours
Total Time: 10 hours 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks 🥕
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 🥔
- 2 large onions, peeled and cut into wedges 🧅
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 2 1/2 pounds beef brisket
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 🧂
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups beef broth 🥩
- 1 medium head of cabbage, cut into wedges 🥬
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by placing the carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker. This will form the flavorful base on which the corned beef will rest, allowing the vegetables to absorb all the savory juices during cooking. 🥕🥔🧅🧄
-
Season the Brisket: Take your beef brisket and trim any excess fat. Season it generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. This seasoning will enhance the flavor of the meat and the broth. 🥩🧂
-
Assemble the Dish: Place the seasoned brisket on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. This way, the meat will slowly cook over the vegetables, infusing them with its rich flavors. 🍲
-
Add the Broth: Pour the beef broth over the brisket and vegetables. The broth will keep everything moist and help in creating a delicious, savory sauce. 💧
-
Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 10 to 12 hours. The long, slow cooking time will ensure the brisket is tender and the flavors are deeply infused into the meat and vegetables. ⏲️
-
Prepare the Cabbage: About 30 minutes before serving, remove 1 cup of the cooking broth from the slow cooker and pour it into a skillet. Heat the broth over medium heat, and add the cabbage wedges. Simmer until the cabbage is tender but still crisp, about 15-20 minutes. 🥬
-
Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker. Slice the meat across the grain to ensure it remains tender. Serve the sliced brisket alongside the vegetables and cabbage, spooning some of the flavorful broth over the top. 🍽️
Notes:
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of your favorite stout beer to the broth. 🍺
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of cold water and stir it into the hot broth to thicken it before serving. 🍲
