Pressure Cooker Instant Pot Corned Beef Recipe
Ingredients:
– 3-4 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
– 4 cups beef broth
– 1 onion, peeled and quartered
– 4 garlic cloves, smashed
– 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
– 3 bay leaves
– 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
– 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
– 1 small cabbage, cut into wedges
Instructions:
1. Start by rinsing the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove any excess salt on the surface. Pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Place the metal trivet that comes with your Instant Pot at the bottom of the inner pot. This will elevate the meat while it cooks and prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
3. Insert the quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and bay leaves into the pot along with the beef broth.
4. Carefully place the corned beef brisket on top of the trivet, fat side up.
5. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the pressure valve is set to the “Sealing” position.
6. Cook on high pressure for about 90 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release for 15 minutes.
7. After releasing any remaining pressure, carefully remove the lid and add in the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage around the corned beef.
8. Secure the lid once again and pressure cook on high for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick pressure release and carefully open the lid.
10. Transfer the corned beef, vegetables, and some of the cooking liquid to a serving platter, allowing the meat to rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
11. Serve the tender corned beef with the flavorful vegetables and a drizzle of the cooking liquid on top.
