Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 Cups beef broth (can use all water if you prefer)
- 2 Cups water
- 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges
- 3 Cups carrots, cut into 2” pieces (about 1 pound)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, cut in half
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the corned beef from the package and rinse it a few times with cold water to remove the excess salt. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Trim the excess fat.
- Cover the meat with the contents of the seasoning packet.
- Place the trivet inside the instant pot. Using the trivet is not a requirement but makes it easier to remove the large piece of meat from the pot.
- Place the cut onion in the bottom of the instant pot.
- Lay the corned beef on top of the onion. Add the garlic, brown sugar, and bay leaves.
- Pour the beef broth and water into the instant pot. Take care to pour around the sides so you don’t rinse the seasoning off the meat.
- Place the lid on and turn the vent to the sealing position. Set for manual high pressure for 80 minutes.
- Once the cook time has elapsed, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. Then release the remaining pressure. Remove the beef from the pot and place it in a bowl. Discard the onions.
- Pour the liquid from the pot through a sieve to remove any remaining solids. Pour 2 cups of the liquid over the beef and return the remaining liquid to the instant pot. Tent the bowl with foil to keep the beef warm.
- Add the cabbage, carrots and potatoes to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Replace the lid and turn the vent to the sealed position. Cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes. Quick release the pressure when cooking time has elapsed.
- Cut the corned beef brisket into slices against the grain. Serve with the cooked vegetables and whole grain mustard.
