This Corned Beef is a classic dish that boasts rich flavors and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it a favorite for hearty meals. Often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, it can be served with cabbage, potatoes, or in a delicious Reuben sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds corned beef brisket
- 1 onion, quartered
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-3 cups beef broth or water (find my broth recipes HERE and HERE)
- 2 tablespoons pickling spice (included with brisket or homemade)
- Optional: carrots and potatoes for serving
Instructions
1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess salt
2. Place the brisket in a large pot or slow cooker and add the quartered onion, minced garlic, pickling spice, and enough beef broth or water to cover the meat
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender
4. If using a slow cooker, set it on low and cook for 8-10 hours
5. For added flavor, add carrots and potatoes during the last hour of cooking
6. Once done, remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain
