Ingredients:
For the Corn Beef:
- 1.5-2 pounds corned beef brisket
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- Salt to taste
For the Cabbage:
- 1 large head of green cabbage, cored and cut into 8 wedges
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preparing the Corn Beef:
1. In a large slow cooker, place the corned beef brisket, sliced onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, dried thyme, black peppercorns, and a generous amount of salt. Pour in the beef broth and water until the brisket is fully submerged.
2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
3. Once cooked, remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Preparing the Cabbage:
1. While the corned beef is cooking, prepare the cabbage. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the cabbage glaze.
2. Once the corned beef has finished cooking and is resting, place the cabbage wedges in the slow cooker.
3. Pour the cabbage glaze over the cabbage wedges, making sure they are evenly coated.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours, until the cabbage is tender and caramelized.
Serving:
1. To serve, slice the corned beef against the grain and place it on a platter with the cabbage wedges.
