Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a slow cooker, place the chopped onion and minced garlic. Position the corned beef brisket on top. Pour in the water, then add the bay leaves and spice packet. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, adding potatoes at the 3-hour mark, carrots at the 4-hour mark, and cabbage at the 6-hour mark. (Total time: 8 hours)

02

Step

Turn off the slow cooker. Carefully remove the brisket to a serving platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil for 10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for a more tender result. (Rest time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

While the brisket rests, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste and achieve a light golden color. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Guinness®, and Dijon mustard, ensuring a smooth consistency. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Season with pepper and salt. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

05

Step

Slice the corned beef across the grain for maximum tenderness. Plate alongside the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Generously ladle the Guinness®-Dijon gravy over the meat and vegetables. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try searing the corned beef on all sides in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker.
If you don't have Guinness®, any Irish stout will work well. You could even substitute with a dark ale, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to your preference. For a milder flavor, use less; for a more pronounced tang, use more.
Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
