Wok's For Dinner: Slow-Cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage

Tonight's meal is a traditional Irish dish that I created to commemorate St. Patrick's Day, prepared slow-cooker style. I combined recipes that I found from Betty Crocker and Pillsbury, tweaking them up to make them my "own." I really thought that I'd have enough leftover corned beef to make sandwiches for supper Sunday night. Uh-uh, not going to happen. My husband and daughter LOVED this meal, the corn beef in particular. Both had seconds (hubs actually had 3rds). And I have no corned beef left. Crazy! This was a 2 1/2 lb roast! I'm extremely flattered at how much the family enjoyed this meal, so it was a perfect fit for St. Patty's Day.

Slow-Cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage

Ingredients:

2 - 3lb corned beef brisket

2lb small potatoes, scrubbed clean and left whole

2 cups baby-cut carrots

1 medium onion, chopped

1/4 cup cider vinegar (note to self: the carrots absorbed the flavor of the cider vinegar and had a rather sharp taste)

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

water

1 cabbage, cut into wedges

Directions:

Place potatoes, carrots and onion in bottom of slow-cooker. Cover with corned beef. If corned beef came with a seasoning packet, sprinkle contents on top of roast. Otherwise, if no seasoning packet, add 1 tsp mustard seed. Add cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Pour enough water to slow-cooker until it reaches the level of the brisket without covering it. Place cabbage wedges on top of roast. Cover and cook on low for approximately 10 hours.
