Ingredients
- 3-3½ lb ready-to-cook corned beef, trimmed
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 lb small new potatoes
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ ib carrots, chopped
- ½ small head green cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- Spice packet (included with the corned beef)
Instructions
Prepare the Corned Beef
- Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the corned beef in a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker and pour the dry white wine over the meat.
- Sprinkle the included spice packet over the beef.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
Add the Vegetables
- After 4 hours, add the potatoes, chopped onion, carrots, and cabbage wedges to the slow cooker.
- Stir gently, cover again, and continue cooking on high for 2 more hours (or on low for 4 hours for a slower cook).
- Once the corned beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft, remove the meat from the slow cooker.
- Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables on the side.
Notes
Tips to Perfect the Recipe:
- Don’t skip the rinsing: Rinsing the corned beef before cooking removes excess salt, giving the beef a more balanced flavor.
- Choose a dry white wine: The wine will infuse both the meat and vegetables with flavor, so pick one you’d happily drink.
- Adjust cooking times: You can cook the dish on high for a faster meal or on low for a more tender, melt-in-your-mouth corned beef. Both work beautifully, so go with what fits your schedule!
