Preparation
Rinse brisket and pat dry; place in slow cooker. Spread mustard over brisket; sprinkle with pickling spice.
Cut leeks, carrots and parsnips in half lengthwise; cut into about 4-inch (10 cm) lengths.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook leeks, carrots, parsnips, garlic and pinch each of the salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 6 minutes. Arrange over brisket.
Add beef broth, beer, remaining salt and pepper, and enough water to cover brisket by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
Add cabbage; cook until brisket is tender, about 3 hours.
Remove vegetables to serving platter and keep warm. Place brisket on cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 3 to 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Arrange with vegetables. Strain braising liquid; drizzle 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) over brisket and vegetables.
