The Instant Pot makes this Irish classic meal super easy. From start to finish, this recipe takes about 2 hours. The result is an amazing dinner, great for any night of the week, not just St. Patrick’s Day.

You’ll be cooking the corned beef brisket first, then the vegetables. No worries, they vegetables only take 3 or 4 minutes! Not adding them with the brisket keeps the vegetables from getting mushy.

What is Corned Beef?

Corned beef is a salt-cured type of beef brisket. The “corned” part has nothing to do with corn, it simply is because the meat is treated with large-grained rock salt, commonly called “corns” of salt. It gives the brisket it’s salty and slightly tangy taste and it’s no wonder it’s so good with cabbage!

How do you buy Corned Beef?

Most grocery stores sell corned beef so it’s readily available to buy. There are a few different cuts of corned beef including corned beef round roast, flat cut brisket, and point cut brisket. The roast tends to be the leaner option but also can be dry. The other two cuts are better options as they will result in a tender brisket when cooked. Which ever cut you choose, be sure it will fit into your Instant Pot.

How to Make this Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe

Step 1

Add garlic cloves, onion, and bay leaves to Instant Pot container and pour the broth and water on top. Place the trivet that comes with the Instant Pot inside the container with the handles positioned up for easy removal.

Step 2

Place the brisket fat side down on the trivet and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the spice packet on top of the brisket.

Step 3

Add the lid and lock into place. Set the vent to “Sealing” and select the “Manual” button. Adjust to the “High” pressure setting and set the cook time to 85 minutes.

Step 4

When cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before doing a quick release on any remaining pressure. Remove brisket by carefully lifting the trivet out by the handles (using potholders) and transfer to a platter. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 5

Return the trivet to the Instant Pot® and add the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage on top. Cover and lock lid into place. Set the vent to “Sealing” and select the “Manual” button. Adjust cook time to 3 minutes.

Step 6

When cook time is complete, allow natural release of the pressure for 5 minutes before doing a quick release on the remaining pressure.
