Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like this traditional one-pot meal. It’s perfect in a cozy-comforting-savory-tender way. And I actually just learned that this beloved dish is actually rarely eaten in Ireland! But it sure makes one heck of a St. Patty’s Day dinner.
I didn’t do anything fancy with mine, but I have found that I’m particular on a few specifics when cooking it at home. I always throw it all into my slow cooker, and I always, always cook it low-and-slow for up to eight hours. You can, of course, cook it on high for four hours, but you’ll have a chewier bite than if you take the slow route, believe me. I like mine to practically fall off the fork! And the beauty with corned beef is that it comes pre-seasoned, so you don’t have to fuss with any kind of marinating or additional spices while you’re preparing it to cook. Find the full recipe below, and tell me – will you be slow cookin’ some corned beef and cabbage next week?! Truly, MKR
P.S. A nice little suggestion for your leftovers the next day: get some white bread, and make some cold corned beef sandwiches for lunch! My mouth is drooling just thinking about it. You can plate it traditionally (as shown above) or shred it like your typical brisket sandwich. xo
- 1 corned beef with seasoning
- 1 head of cabbage, cut into quarters
- 10-12 raw carrots
- 10 baby red potatoes
- onions, peeled and quartered
- 2-3 cloves garlic, to taste
- grainy mustard, to garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme, to taste
- Fresh parsley, to taste
- Fill crockpot with corned beef (fat side up), potatoes, onion, & carrots. Add water so it comes up to the bottom quarter of the beef. Top with one bottle of beer.
- Cover and cook the corned beef on low for 8-10 hours. (You can cook it on high for 4 hours, but I swear the meat tastes the best with my low-and-slow method!)
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add cabbage.*
- Slice into preferred cuts, add grainy mustard, fresh parsley and thyme to serve.
- *You can also cook the cabbage separately by boiling it in water for 20 minutes if there isn't enough room in the Crock Pot.
It looks delicious))) I want to cook it) Thank you)
