Instant Pot 2 Lb Corned Beef
Better than a pot of gold any day!
Hooray, it's March! And you know what that means. It's almost St. Patrick's day! Time to go hunting for leprechauns and see if you can snag yourself a pot of gold! Me, I've never caught one, but I don't mind. I've already got a pot full of something magical in my kitchen: corned beef and cabbage. This hearty Irish dish is so good, with the salty, garlicky beef lending its flavor to all the veggies in the pot.
The only catch is, it takes a long time to make. Beef brisket is a pretty tough cut of meat, so you have to let it simmer pretty much all day to get it nice and tender.
Unless, of course, you cook it in the Instant Pot.
With my new Instant Pot, I can now make my traditional Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage in just a couple of hours. The beef cooks up tender in only 90 minutes, and then the veggies are done in just a few minutes more. Then you put it all together on a platter, and your Irish meal is served. If your corned beef brisket does not come with a spice packet, I have a recipe for one over in this post.
Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage
INGREDIENTS:
4-5 garlic cloves
4 cups water
2.5-3 lb. corned beef brisket, including spice packet or DIY spice packet
2 lbs petite red potatoes, quartered
3 cups baby carrots
1 head green cabbage, cut into large wedges
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place corned beef brisket, spice packet, garlic and 4 cups of water into the instant pot. I used the rack to keep the brisket off the bottom of the pot.
2. Cook on 90 minutes using the meat/stew setting or high pressure for 90 minutes. Once time is up, quick release pressure. Remove corned beef to a platter and cover with foil. Let rest while cooking the vegetables.
3. Without discarding liquid, add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to pressure cooker, you may remove the rack if desired.
4. Cook at high pressure for 4-5 minutes. Do a quick pressure release before removing vegetables.
