Cut the carrots into 3 to 4-inch pieces and the onion into quarters. Make sure that you leave the root ends intact on the onion.
Now cut the potatoes and cabbages into quarters and put them aside. We will only add some of the veggies in the crockpot as some can get mushy when cooked for so long.
Wash the corned beef and put it aside. Take a pan and put two tablespoons of oil in the pan; now add the beef briskets.
Cook both sides of the beef briskets for 4 to 5 minutes until the sides are brown.
Now add the onions to the bottom of the crockpot and put corned beef over it.
Ensure the corned beef has a fat-cap side up in the crockpot. Pour the seasoning from the spice packet on the beef.

When the corned beef is cooked for around 4 to 5 hours, it’s time to add potatoes and carrots to the crockpot.
After being cooked for 4 to 5 hours, the corned beef will be tender. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes more with the potatoes and carrots in the crockpot. Make sure that the vegetables are tender after 30 to 40 minutes.
Add cabbages to the crockpot and cook for 15 to 20 minutes more. You must add cabbage to the crockpot around 30 minutes prior to serving.
Pioneer Woman Crockpot Corned Beef should have slightly cooked cabbage that is neither too crispy nor too tender. Thus, wait to add cabbage; otherwise, it will become ultra-tender.
Take a fork and check if the beef is fork-tender. Now take out the corned beef and vegetables on a plate.
Now slice the corned beef just like you would cut a brisket.
