Description

Pioneer Woman Crockpot Corned Beef is a slow-cooked dish where corned beef brisket is gently simmered in a crockpot with a mix of seasonings, vegetables, and broth. This method ensures a moist, tender, and flavorful meat that pairs perfectly with various sides.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-4 pound) corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 head of cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Place the brisket in the crockpot.
  2. Add vegetables: Layer the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes around the beef.
  3. Season: Sprinkle mustard seeds, peppercorns, and the contents of the seasoning packet over the beef.
  4. Pour broth: Add beef broth to cover the beef partially.
  5. Cook: Set the crockpot to low and cook for 8-10 hours.
  6. Add cabbage: Add cabbage wedges during the last 2 hours of cooking.
  7. Serve: Slice the beef against the grain and serve with vegetables.

Notes

Choose the Right Cut: Opt for a flat-cut brisket for uniform cooking and easy slicing.

Adjust Seasonings: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can add more garlic, mustard seeds, or peppercorns if desired.

Check Liquid Levels: Ensure there is enough liquid in the crockpot to keep the meat moist. If needed, add more broth or water during cooking.

Vegetable Variations: Experiment with different vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes for added variety.

Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Freezing Instructions: You can freeze the cooked corned beef for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheat Gently: When reheating, do so gently to avoid drying out the meat. Adding a little broth can help maintain moisture.

Serve with Mustard or Horseradish: These condiments enhance the flavor of the corned beef and complement the dish well.
