Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs. corned beef brisket
  • aluminum foil
  • pickling spice packet included with corned beef
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. hickory liquid smoke
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded white onion
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. creamed horseradish
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • couple grinds of coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tsp. onion, finely diced
  • splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 4 tbsp. butter for browning bread
  • 12 marble rye slices
  • 8 slices swiss cheese
  • toothpicks to secure sandwiches

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix rub ingredients together.
  2. Place corned beef on foil, applying the rub on all sides. Wrap it up tightly in foil, repeating the process three more times.
  3. Put the wrapped corned beef in the slow cooker without adding water, then cover with the lid.
  4. Slow cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, keeping the lid closed.
  5. Once cooked, remove the corned beef, leaving it in the foil to rest for about 20 minutes while prepping coleslaw and dressing.
  6. For the coleslaw dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Dress just enough coleslaw for immediate use to keep it fresh.
  7. Mix the ingredients for the Russian Dressing in a separate bowl.
  8. Unwrap the corned beef and discard the juices.
  9. Slice the corned beef and assemble the sandwiches.
  10. Butter the marble rye and brown each slice in a skillet.
  11. Spread Russian dressing on the bottom slice of the rye.
  12. Layer with corned beef, followed by Swiss cheese and coleslaw.
  13. Top with another slice of marble rye and secure with toothpicks if desired. Cut in half before serving.
  14. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, let the corned beef sit in the spice rub overnight before cooking.
Adjust the coleslaw dressing to taste for a personalized flavor profile.
Use leftover corned beef for additional sandwiches or as a salad topping.
