Corned beef used to be a weekend only treat for me due to how long it took to cook, until I discovered the Instant Pot®. Save yourself time and hassle by letting your Instant Pot® do all of the work for you, and in a fraction of the time. You can have it and all of the fixings on your table in 2 hours. If you decide to fix cabbage, be sure to keep it in large wedges so that it does not overcook.

Tips:

Choose a well-marbled corned beef brisket for the best flavor and tenderness.
If you don't have time to soak the corned beef overnight, you can quick-soak it by placing it in a large pot of cold water and bringing it to a boil. Then, remove the pot from the heat and let the corned beef sit in the hot water for 1 hour.
Add vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions to the Instant Pot along with the corned beef. This will create a delicious and flavorful broth that can be used to make gravy or soup.
Cook the corned beef on high pressure for 90 minutes per pound. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through and tender.
Once the corned beef is cooked, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Corned beef is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With the help of an Instant Pot, you can easily make corned beef at home in a fraction of the time it would take to cook it in a traditional oven. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give Instant Pot corned beef a try. You won't be disappointed!
