Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

My husband loves corned beef and cabbage, so when I got my Instant Pot I knew it was a meal I wanted to make in it. Corned beef and cabbage cooked in the Instant Pot is amazing. So flavorful and colorful. The meat itself is perfectly tender!

Make the whole meal in just a few hours with the Instant Pot. The beef cooks up tender in only 90 minutes, and then the veggies are done in just a few minutes more. All with only a short amount of prep work. When everything is done, put it all together on a platter and your meal is served!

Ingredients for Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage: 

3-4 lb corned beef brisket, thawed, and the additional spice pack
4 cups water
1 small onion, chopped in big chunks
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 small cabbage, cut into large wedges
3 cups baby carrots
2 lbs baby red potatoes, halved and quartered
pepper to taste

Directions for Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage: 

1. Start by adding the 4 cups of water, minced garlic, and onion to the instant pot. Then add corned beef brisket to the instant pot. I used the rack to keep the meat off of the bottom. Add the additional spice pack.

2. Close and lock the lid of the instant pot. Press the Meat/Stew button and set the timer for 90 minutes and make sure the vent is on seal. Once time is up, quick release pressure. Remove lid and take out corned beef. Place on platter and cover with foil to rest while cooking the vegetables.

3. Add the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to the instant pot without discarding the liquid. Replace the lid and lock it. Press the Soup button and set the timer for 6 minutes. Once time is up, turn the valve to quick release pressure. Once steam has released, pull your vegetables out and place them on platter with corned beef.

4. Slice the corned beef and the meal is ready to serve.

We really enjoy this meal and the 6 qt Instant Pot makes a great amount for our family.
