Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb corned beef brisket, plus seasoning packet
- 2 large yellow onions, quartered
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces beer
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 lb baby potatoes, cut into quarters
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 head green cabbage, core removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (for sautéed cabbage)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat off the corned beef and rinse it under cold water for 1-2 minutes.
- Place the quartered onions and minced garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker or Instant Pot.
- Lay the corned beef brisket fat-side up on top of the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat, and add bay leaves, whole cloves, oregano, and black pepper.
- Pour in the beer, water, and apple cider vinegar, stirring gently.
- For Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- For Instant Pot: Pressure cook on high for 1 hour and 25 minutes; let it naturally release for 10 minutes before a quick release.
- Flip the corned beef and ladle out about 2 cups of cooking liquid.
- Add potatoes and carrots, cover, and cook on high pressure for an additional 5 minutes before quick release.
- Rinse cabbage and heat olive oil in a pan; sauté half of the cabbage with garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until tender.
- Serve sliced corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and sautéed cabbage, drizzled with reserved cooking liquid.
Notes
Avoid over-trimming the corned beef. Store leftovers in an airtight container, and they last about 3-4 days in the fridge or up to three months in the freezer.
