Description
A classic Irish dish made easy in the Instant Pot, featuring tender corned beef paired with flavorful cabbage and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pound corned beef brisket
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced)
- 1 seasoning packet from corned beef (or 1 tablespoon pickling spices)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 5 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup stout beer (such as Guinness)
- 1 pound small red potatoes (cut in half)
- 1 pound baby carrots
- ½ head green cabbage (cut into 2-inch wedges)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the corned beef brisket under cold water and thoroughly patting it dry.
- Place the onion slices into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Position the rinsed corned beef on top of the onion.
- Sprinkle the seasoning packet evenly over the meat, then add the garlic and brown sugar.
- Carefully pour the beef broth and stout beer around the corned beef.
- Secure the lid on the pressure cooker, set the vent knob to sealed, and cook for 85 minutes on high pressure.
- After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes.
- Remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest while preparing the vegetables.
- Ladle out about 1½ cups of the cooking liquid from the pot.
- Add the halved potatoes and baby carrots to the remaining liquid.
- Place the cabbage wedges on top and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the vegetables for either 3 or 5 minutes on high pressure, adjusting for desired cabbage tenderness.
- Once the time has elapsed, release pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release.
- Thinly slice the corned beef against the grain and serve alongside the vegetables.
Notes
Choose quality meat and rinse the brisket to control salt levels. Adjust cooking time based on brisket size.
