Ingredients:
4lb Raw Corned beef with spices 3 Large carrots 1/2 onion 2 celery stocks rough cut (optional) 1.5 lbs Mini Potatoes (yellow, red, purple) Half a head of cabbage cut in 1 1/2 wedges Bottle of Shiner Bock or other beer
Directions:
Place the corned beef fat side up in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the carrots and potatoes in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add bottle of beer. Add enough water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours. An hour before the beef is done cooking arrange cabbage over corned beef, cover, and continue cooking until cabbage is tender, 1 hour -1 1/2 hour (you can skip this and do the "QUICK CABBAGE" below after the beef is done).
Set slow cooker to warm to keep warm.
Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage.
QUICK CABBAGE: Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. |
