Ah, the Irish....
As usual, I prepare the meat and chop all the veggies the night before. (I can't help it, I love the morning crock pot dump and stir thing) ..
4 lbs Corned Beef Brisket
1/2 tsp pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 yellow onions, peeled and cut into wedges
1 head cabbage, cut in large wedges
6 medium white potatoes peeled and halved
1-2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup brown sugar
1 can beer
2 cups water
Trim excess fat from corned beef
Rinse brisket in cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry
Sprinkle Corned Beef with pepper and brown all sides over high heat in skillet
Place cabbage, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and onions in crock pot
Rub brown sugar over entire brisket (top, bottom and sides)
Pour beer and enough water to almost cover
Set crock pot on high for 8 hours.
SERVE:
Sour Cream & Mustard Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
or....
Horseradish dressing:
1/2 cup mayo,
1/2 cup sour cream
horseradish to taste
Tip: Not crazy about beer? Try apple juice instead
Tip: Slice Corned Beef against the grain or pull it apart with forks
