Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds raw corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 2 cups Guinness beer or dark beer
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 6 large carrots, peeled and cut as desired
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Place brisket, fat side up, in slow cooker. Sprinkle spice packet, brown sugar, and garlic around the beef.
- Pour beer around the beef, not directly over the top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
- Add potatoes and carrots, then cover and cook another 2 to 3 hours until fork-tender.
- Optional: Add cabbage during the last hour of cooking.
- Remove beef and let rest 15 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Serve with vegetables, garnish with parsley, and spoon juices on top.
Notes
For crispy edges, broil sliced beef for a few minutes after cooking. Prefer a crust? Sear the brisket before placing it in the slow cooker. Store leftovers up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze sliced beef for up to 3 months.
