Ingredients

Servings:
6
Units:

Main

  • 1 ½ kg Corned beef brisket

    Choose a well-marbled cut for best tenderness

Seasoning

  • 15 ml Seasoned pepper

    Adjust to taste preference

Liquid

  • 240 ml Water or beef stock
    (optional)

    Add only if needed to cover beef partially

Method

  1. 1

    Season your corned beef brisket generously with seasoned pepper, coating all sides evenly.

    ~5 mins
  2. 2

    Place the seasoned corned beef into your slow cooker. Add water or beef stock if needed to partially cover the meat.

    ~5 mins

    Tip: Do not submerge completely; the slow cooker will generate its own moisture

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on low heat for 10 hours until the beef is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

    ~10 hrs

    Tip: Do not lift the lid unnecessarily during cooking

  4. 4

    Remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

    ~10 mins

    Tip: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat

  5. 5

    Slice against the grain and serve with the cooking liquid on the side, or drizzle over the meat as desired.

    ~5 mins
