Beef-Style Recipe + Slow Cooker Corned Beef-Style Brisket

Making corned beef from scratch means you control the ingredients, no chemicals means better eating. I cook mine with carrots and cabbage.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 bay leaves, crumbled
• 8 whole black peppercorns, crushed
• 1 tablespoon pickling salt
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 (4 pound) beef brisket
• 1 cup water
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• ½ small head cabbage, sliced into strips

Cooking Directions

1. Stir together the onion, garlic, mustard, vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, parsley, and celery seed in a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. Rub the brisket with the mixture, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
3. To cook the brisket, place it into a slow cooker along with the water. Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours. Add the carrots, and cabbage, and continue cooking until the brisket is tender, about 3 hours more.
