Instant Pot Corned Beef

By Carlton Farms

A one-pot sensation! We love this Instant Pot corned beef recipe, paired with cabbage, carrots and potatoes.

Ingredients and directions

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Yellow Onion, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 6 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme (or 2 tsp of dried)
  • 2-3 Bay Leaves
  • 12oz Lager-style Beef (or 1 1/2 cups of beef broth mixed with 1 tbsp. of cider vinegar)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt, with additional for seasoning
  • 1lb Small Red Potatoes, halved
  • 5 Large Carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 Head of Small Green Cabbage (or half a large), cored and cut into 8 wedges
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Optional: mustard, for serving

Directions

  1. Combine the sliced onion, minced garlic thyme, and bay leaves in an Instant Pot.

    Place the Carlton Farms Corned Beef, fat-side up, on top of onions.

  2. In a small bowl, mix the beer (or broth) and 1/2 cup water.

    Pour around the beef.

  3. Lock the lid into place and seal, then set the Instant Pot to high and program it for 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes).

  4. Once the cooking time is complete, let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for at least 10  minutes.

    Carefully open the valve with a wooden spoon to release any remaining pressure, then remove the lid.

  5. Transfer the Corned Beef to a cutting board and tent it with foil.

    Leave the thyme and bay leaves in pot.

    Remove the cooking liquid from the Instant Pot, saving 2 cups.

    Then whisk the salt into the reserved liquid.

  6. While the meat rests, add the halved potatoes, carrots, and cabbage wedges to the Instant Pot.

    Pour the reserved liquid over the vegetables (and thyme and bay leaves), lock the lid, and set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.

  7. After the cooking cycle, use a wooden spoon to turn the steam valve to release pressure, then open the lid, being cautious of any lingering steam.

    Using tongs or a slotted spoon, arrange the vegetables on a serving platter, seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Slice the Corned Beef against the grain and serve it with the seasoned vegetables (and mustard if you prefer).

    You can also shred the corned beef instead of cutting it if you like!
