What’s in this Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe?

Cooking corned beef and cabbage in a crockpot makes this traditional Irish recipe super easy. Just throw the ingredients in the slow cooker, set it, and forget it!

  • Corned Beef: Corned beef is a salt-cured beef brisket. Look for flat cut rather than point cut for the best results. Trim all visible fat from the brisket.
  • Onion: Use yellow onion.
  • Cabbage: Use one small cabbage.
  • Red Potatoes: These are smaller and less starchy than white potatoes, so they work better in recipes like this. Peel and halve before putting them in the slow cooker.
  • Carrots: I used baby carrots for convenience, but you can also peel and cut whole carrots into thick slices.
  • Beef Bouillon Cube: This adds a lot of savory flavor into the mix.
  • Beef Broth: This adds a flavorful liquid into the mix.
  • Garlic: I used 1 garlic clove, but you can increase the amount if you like more garlic flavor.
  • Dry Mustard: Sometimes called mustard powder or ground mustard, this adds a savory, almost tangy flavor.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: This adds the perfect mix of flavor to this dish.
  • Caraway Seed: Caraway is a must for corned beef.

What spices are used to make corned beef?

Corned beef brisket generally comes with a spice packet that includes a mix of peppercorns, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and bay leaves. I recommend using this, but you can also use any mix of those spices from your cabinet, or leave it out completely.

How long do you cook corned beef in a crock pot?

On the low setting, it will take about 8-10 hours to cook. On the high setting, it will only take about 4-5 hours.

What temperature should corned beef be cooked to?

Corned beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F to ensure safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer to measure this. The meat will still be quite pink due to the curing process, so that is not an adequate way of determining how done or cooked the meat is.

What is the best method for cooking corned beef?

Slow cooking methods work best for corned beef, like oven-roasting or using a slow cooker.

What kind of beef do you use for corned beef?

Corned beef is a salty brine-cured beef brisket. It’s a specific type of meat, and that curing process is the important part.

Does it get more tender the longer it cooks?

Yes, corned beef benefits from a longer cooking time, which is why the crockpot is such a great option.

When do you add cabbage to the crock pot with corned beef?

Cabbage doesn’t need nearly as long to cook as the corned beef, so add it into the slow cooker about 1 hour before the beef is done.

Notes

  • I prefer flat cut brisket, as it is more uniform and easier to cut, but point brisket will also work.
  • You can swap the beef broth for vegetable broth, water, or Guinness beer.
  • For more tender cabbage, add it earlier; for crisper cabbage, add it later.
  • Properly cooked corned beef should be at least 145°F internally.
  • Slice the beef across the grain for tender meat.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
Storage: Store crockpot corned beef and cabbage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
