Description

A hearty slow cooker stew made with tender corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots simmered in a rich savory broth.


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds corned beef brisket
  • 1 small head cabbage, chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Place the corned beef brisket on top of the vegetables.
  3. Pour beef broth over the ingredients.
  4. Add black pepper, dried thyme, bay leaf, and mustard if using.
  5. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the corned beef is tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, add the chopped cabbage.
  7. Once cooked, remove the corned beef, slice or shred it, and return it to the stew.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the stew before serving.

Notes

  • Diced celery or parsnips can be added for extra flavor and texture.
  • A splash of Worcestershire sauce deepens the broth flavor.
  • Turnips can replace some of the potatoes for variation.
  • Rinse corned beef briefly before cooking to reduce excess salt.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled stew for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
  • Add a splash of broth when reheating if the stew thickens.
