Tips for the Slow Cooker Corned Beef Recipe
- The baby potatoes and carrots can get quite soft being cooked all day in the slow cooker. If you like firmer vegetables, add them halfway through the cooking time.
- Be sure to slice the corned beef against the grain for the most tender result!
- If you find your corned beef is too fatty, feel free to trim off some of the fat.
What is corned beef?
Corned beef is a beef brisket that has been covered in brine and then cures with salt and seasonings. This nice cut of meat has a distinctive pink color that comes from sodium nitrate which is an ingredient in the curing process. It’s always best to cook corned beef for a long time so that it becomes extra tender, that’s why the slow cooker is a perfect fit. Other common cooking methods include boiling and oven roasting the corned beef.
How to slow cook the corned beef
Make sure to cook the corned beef in the slow cooker fat side up so that the meat will stay tender. We like to sear the meat for a couple of minutes in a skillet with a little oil before, but this step is optional.
How and how long to keep the corned beef leftovers?
Keep the slow cooker corned beef leftovers for 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat the meat, veggies, and sauce, in the slow cooker, adding a little water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
