  1. Place the meat: Add your corned beef brisket to the slow cooker, fat-side up.

  3. Pour liquid: Add chicken stock and enough water to cover the brisket.
  4. Season: Sprinkle in sea salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic.
  5. Cook low and slow: Set your Crock Pot to low for 10 hours or high for 6 hours.
  6. Add cabbage: About 2 hours before serving, add the chopped cabbage on top so it steams gently.
