Corned beef and cabbage cooked in the instant pot couldn't be easier or faster. The instant pot pressure cooker makes the meat so tender it will flake with a fork.
13 to 4 pound corned beef brisket with the spice packet
4cupschicken broth
1onioncut into large chunks
2bay leaves
2whole garlic cloves
3-4whole cloves
1cabbagesliced into 2 to 3-inch wedges
1poundred potatoescut into 3-inch chunks
4carrotscut into 3-inch pieces
Instructions
Place the corned beef brisket in the instant pot along with the spice packet that came with the brisket. You may need to cut the brisket in 2 or 3 pieces to get it to fit.
Add the chicken broth, onion, bay leaves, garlic, and whole clove spice.
Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to high for 1 hour 10 minutes (set the timer for 1 hour 35 minutes if you have a 4 pound brisket).
Quick release the pressure and remove the lid.
Remove the corned beef and set it on a cutting board to rest. Add the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots to the broth in the pressure cooker then replace the lid and cook at high pressure for 4 minutes.
Quick release the pressure and transfer the vegetables to a serving platter then slice the meat and place on the serving platter.
Notes
If you slice the vegetables larger than 3 inches, you will need to cook them a little longer. If they are not tender enough replace the lid and cook them for 1 to 2 more minutes.
