Are you ready for a delicious corned beef recipe? Made in the slow cooker? Perfected by a Korean American with no Irish heritage whatsoever?

Did I oversell it up there? 😉 Seriously though, I love corned beef and cabbage… like a whole lot, so I’ve been perfecting this recipe for years. And I am finally ready to share it with the world.

I consider this one of my few ‘perfectly perfected’ recipes. See Deviled Eggs and Shrimp & Grits for my others. Or if you’re feeling spicy, check out my Kimchi!

Just writing about it is making me drool… so let me get right to business with the corned beef recipe!

Ingredients

• 3-5 lbs. corned beef round
• 1 medium cabbage, chopped
• 5 red potatoes, rinsed & cubed into 1 inch sections
• 5 medium sized carrots, peeled & roughly chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 12 oz. can of beer
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• a single bay leaf
• a dash of ground cloves
• 1 tsp of ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp of salt

Instructions

Most corned beef packages come with a seasoning packet, I add it in along with everything here. I love lots of flavor in my food.

Place the corned beef, potatoes, & carrots into a large crockpot with bay leaf, clove, mustard, & garlic. Note: You can use baby carrots instead if you want!

Pour in the can of beer. Any unflavored beer works with this recipe, but my first choice is Guinness & second choice is Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Then top-off the crockpot with water. Cook on high for 5-6 hours, adding water if necessary.

About 30 minutes before you are ready to serve, heat olive oil & butter in pan on medium-high heat. Cook chopped cabbage, onion, salt & pepper until cabbage is soft.

Then you can dig into the goodness! Sláinte!
