Slow cooker Canned beef and cabbage

.

. What is corned meat?

You may be wondering what

corned beef is. Canned

beef is a cut of breast cured with salt. Breast is a hard cut of beef that is made tender by slowly curing the meat in a pickling brine.

Most grocery stores sell ready-to-cook corned meat, which means it’s already been salted and seasoned.

How to

Make

Slow-Cook

Canned Meat To start this canned meat in the slow cooker, first remove it from its packaging and place it in the slow cooker. I’m using an 8-quart slow cooker.

Fill the slow cooker with meat broth or meat broth and top with some bay leaves.

Let the corned beef simmer for 5 hours on its own.

After the first cooking, you will add the potatoes and carrots.

Let this mixture simmer for an additional 3 hours.

I love using this method because potatoes and carrots come out tender and perfectly cooked, rather than a soft, baby food consistency.

Finally, add just half a head of shredded cabbage right on top of the other ingredients

.

Let this simmer for an additional 30 minutes

.

Use a slotted spoon to remove cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Then carefully remove the corned beef to a cutting board and let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting.

The result is a butter-flavored cabbage with juicy corned beef, with tender potatoes and carrots. In short, it’s the perfect comfort food.

Point cut or flat cut?

Did you know that there are two different cuts of corned meat?

Point: The knitted cut has more fat content, is thicker, and some say it’s tastier. Some prefer the point because it tends to be more tender and juicy after cooking.

Flat cut – The flat cut is much thinner. While the flat, or round, cut is thinner, it still has a layer of fat at the bottom, keeping it nice and moist after slow cooking. It has a better presentation than the knitted cut when cooked and cut.

For this recipe shown here, I used the dot cut.

Do you rinse corned meat before cooking?

Canned beef is usually packaged in a salty brine mixture, which gives it its characteristic deep pink hue and distinctive flavor.

It is not necessary to rinse canned beef before cooking, however, doing so would reduce sodium levels and give a milder flavor to the finished dish.

What to serve with corned meat?

This slow-cooker corned beef recipe is a complete meal in itself.

However, I would serve a side of granulated mustard and some good homemade rolls or my beer bread with cheese to go with it.
