Ok, so Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage isn’t just for St. Patrick's Day. Thank goodness because it’s really good. And what about the corned beef hash with the leftovers! Yes! The best part. Especially for breakfast topped with a poached egg or eggs.

Ok, so Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage isn’t just for St. Patrick’s Day. Thank goodness because it’s really good. And what about the corned beef hash with the leftovers! Yes! The best part. Especially for breakfast topped with a poached egg or eggs.

Corned beef is salt-cured brisket of beef. The term comes from the treatment of the meat with large-grained rock salt, also called “corns” of salt. Sometimes, sugar and spices are also added to corned beef recipes. Corned beef is featured as an ingredient in many cuisines. 

I cooked his corned beef in my Instant Pot! I think I ended up cooking it about 90 minutes, checking after 45 minutes, doing a quick rel are for tenderness, then resetting an additional 45 minutes! When done I added my carrots, potatoes and cabbage and cooked for 8 minutes! Basically what could be a 3 or 4 hour cooking time ended up with about an hour and 45 minutes with very little prep time!

Instant Pot Corned Beef

Print Recipe
Course dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine American, Irish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3-4 lb Corned Beef with Spice Mix (Found in the meat department of your Grocer)
  • 4-5 medium potatoes, cut into large wedges
  • 6-8 carrots, whole or halved
  • 1/2 -1 head of cabbage (I used 1/2 but depending on how many you are feeding, you may want to cook the whole head of cabbage)
  • water
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Remove the corned beef from the packaging reserving the spice packet and wash thoroughly. Place in the Instant Pot liner. Add enough water to come up about half way on your beef. Place the lid on the pot and set the pressure on high and set for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, do a quick release and check for tenderness. I set for another 45 minutes with was ample time, but you will just have to determine. You want the beef to be fork tender.
  • When your beef is tender, remove from the instant pot to a platter and tent with foil. Add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage to the instant pot with the same water you used to cook the corned beef. Salt and pepper and set the Instant Pot for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes do a quick release and check for doneness. They should be done, but if not reset for another 2 minutes.
  • Slice your beef across the grain. This is very important, otherwise it will be stringy. Lay the beef on a serving platter and surround with your potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Ladle some of the juices over the meat and potatoes if you like. Enjoy!
