A comforting and easy slow cooker corned beef recipe with a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze that caramelizes to perfection. Perfect for busy days and cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds corned beef brisket (with spice packet if available)
  • 4 cups beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), halved
  • Honey Mustard Glaze:
  • ¼ cup honey (85 g)
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat dry with paper towels. Slice the onion and peel the carrots and potatoes, cutting them into large chunks.
  2. Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add carrots and potatoes on top. Nestle the brisket fat side up over the veggies.
  3. Sprinkle mustard seeds over the brisket, add smashed garlic cloves and bay leaves around the meat. Pour in 4 cups (950 ml) of beef broth or water, ensuring the brisket is mostly covered but not swimming.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours until the meat easily pulls apart with a fork.
  5. While the brisket cooks, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to make the glaze.
  6. When the brisket is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and place on an oven-safe dish. Brush generously with the honey mustard glaze.
  7. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes slightly, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Let the glazed brisket rest for 10 minutes to redistribute juices, then slice against the grain.
  9. Serve sliced corned beef with cooked carrots and potatoes, spooning any extra glaze over the top.

Notes

Rinse corned beef to reduce saltiness. Apply glaze only at the end to prevent burning. Broil carefully as sugars caramelize quickly. Rest meat before slicing for juiciness. Save cooking liquid for soups or cooking cabbage. Can be adapted for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
