Prepared Corned Beef And Cabbage

On Tuesday nights, we have a weekly dinner with friends, and since St. Patrick’s Day is just a few days away, tonight was corned beef and cabbage night.  Surprisingly, no one else knew there was a St. Patrick’s Day Parade either.

I picked up the ingredients the night before at the new Whole Foods on Haight Street.

If you plan ahead, cooking it all in a slow cooker makes it super simple.  I took the carrots and layered them in the bottom of a slow cooker.

I washed the potatoes.

I cut an onion into wedges.

Then I put both into the slow cooker on top of the carrots.

It was time to add the brisket.  I placed it on the top.

I added some beef broth, one beer, and some water.

I covered it, and we had it cooking all day.

This is what it looked like when I got home.  It smelled so good.

I cut the cabbage into wedges.

I took the vegetables and corned beef out of the slow cooker and put the cabbage in the leftover broth.

Then, I served it with the cabbage.

It turned out pretty tasty, although I would’ve liked the corned beef to be just a little more moist.  Plus, the vegetables came out just the way I wanted.
