Print Recipe

A simple and easy slow cooker recipe for tender, juicy corned beef glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard finish. Perfect for comfort food cravings and busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds corned beef brisket
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes, quartered (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop carrots and potatoes into large chunks (about 2-inch pieces). Slice the onion thinly. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Place sliced onions, carrots, and potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add minced garlic on top.
  3. Place the brisket fat-side up on top of the vegetables. Tuck in bay leaves and whole black peppercorns around the meat. Pour beef broth over everything until it nearly covers the brisket (about 4 cups).
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Avoid lifting the lid too often to keep heat steady.
  5. While the brisket cooks, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground black pepper in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  6. About 1 hour before serving, carefully remove the brisket and place it on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the honey mustard glaze all over the top and sides. Broil in the oven or use the slow cooker’s high setting with the lid off to caramelize the glaze for 10-15 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Let the corned beef rest for 10 minutes after glazing. Slice thinly against the grain and serve with cooked vegetables and extra glaze.

Notes

Rinse the brisket before cooking to reduce saltiness. Add the glaze only in the last hour to prevent burning. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Use low sodium broth for a less salty dish. The recipe can be adapted for Instant Pot cooking (90 minutes high pressure).
