Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the drained corned beef for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Place the beef in the crock pot, fat side up.
In the same skillet, combine beef broth and whole-grain mustard, and then pour this mixture over the meat.
Add garlic, onion, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, and the spice packet on top.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
An hour or two before serving, add the carrots and cook for an additional 1-2 hours.
In a separate skillet, sauté the cabbage in butter and salt until wilted, then add it to the crock pot and cook for another 30-60 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
In a Dutch oven, sear the corned beef as described above.
Add broth, mustard, garlic, onion, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, and spice packet.
Roast covered for about 2 hours.
Add carrots and cook for 1 hour.
Then, add sautéed cabbage and cook for another 30-60 minutes until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 200°F.

Notes

Allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking for optimal tenderness. Customize your vegetables based on preference.
