Make moist, flavorful corned beef infused with Guinness stout, served with tender cabbage and root vegetables. This recipe uses a slow cooker for easy preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) corned beef brisket, with spice packet
  • 1 (14.9 ounce) can Guinness stout
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

Instructions

  1. Place the corned beef, fat side up, in the basin of a slow cooker. Sprinkle the spice packet contents over the meat.
  2. Pour the can of Guinness stout and the water around the corned beef.
  3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is very tender.
  5. About 1 hour before the beef is done, add the cabbage wedges, peppercorns, and mustard seeds to the slow cooker, nestling them around the meat and vegetables.
  6. Cover and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender.
  7. Carefully remove the corned beef to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  8. Serve the sliced beef with the cooked vegetables and cabbage. You can use some of the cooking liquid to spoon over the meat for extra moisture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use beef broth instead of water for part of the liquid.
  • If you do not have a slow cooker, you can use a Dutch oven and simmer on the stovetop over low heat for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Save the leftover cooking liquid to use as a base for gravy.
