Classic Corned Beef and Cabbage
Many evenings call for a meal that feels like a warm hug, something hearty and comforting that simmers slowly, filling the kitchen with inviting aromas. Classic corned beef and cabbage is just that—a tender, flavorful dish that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds of corned beef brisket with the spice packet
- a couple of bay leaves
- a splash of apple cider vinegar
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 large carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges
- a drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water and place it in a large pot.
- Add enough water to cover the brisket by about an inch, then toss in the spice packet and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and let it cook gently for about 2.5 hours. Tip: Skim off any foam that rises to the top for a clearer broth.
- After 2.5 hours, add the apple cider vinegar, potatoes, and carrots to the pot. Cover and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Place the cabbage wedges on top of the meat and vegetables, drizzle with olive oil, and cover again. Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Tip: Don’t stir the cabbage into the broth to keep it from getting too soggy.
- Remove the brisket and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Tip: Slicing against the grain ensures each piece is tender and easy to chew.
Just like that, you’ve got a plate full of tender corned beef, sweet carrots, and buttery potatoes, with cabbage that’s perfectly wilted yet still has a bit of crunch. Serve it with a dollop of mustard or horseradish for a little kick, and watch how quickly it disappears.

Instructions

- Add the minced garlic and apple cider vinegar to the slow cooker, then pour in the water until the brisket is just covered.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The brisket should be fork-tender when done.
