5 Expert Instant Pot Tricks
HOW TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THE INSTANT POT
Corned beef served on a white plate with cabbage, carrots, potatoes and parsnips.

Perfect for St Patrick's Day and easy enough for any day of the week, this Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage is a one pot meal of juicy, flavorful meat and veggies.  Serve with a loaf of crusty bread for an incredible meal!


Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage with vegetables

I have cooked up a traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage meal nearly every year since I got married and every time my husband says, “You've got to make this more than once a year!”  Well since discovering how easy it is in a pressure cooker, I've been much more willing to consider the idea.

But can I be honest with you for a second?  I really don't love Corned Beef.

In fact, I just stared at my computer for 10 minutes now wondering what in the world I was going to say about it.  I agree with my husband that this pressure cooker version is juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor,  but I could eat 2 pieces and be good until next year.

But wait!  Wanna know why I actually DO adore this meal with my whole heart?

When cabbage, carrots, parsnips, and potatoes get cooked up all nice and tender in the broth of the Corned Beef, BAM!  Oh my goodness, they are the veggies of my dreams!

Little bite-size flavor bombs is what they are!

I ladle some broth into a bowl, top it with a huge scoop of veggies and two bites of meat, and I have a meal, that for me, is worth making several times a year.

Crusty bread is a must here for broth dipping!  I suggest my new favorite, Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke (which happens to be green and perfect for St Patty's), or the classic Whole Wheat Crusty Bread.

Let's not forget this Horseradish Cream Sauce!  I'm a saucy kind of girl, and this zingy, sinus-clearing Horseradish Sauce is the perfect accompaniment for both the meat and veggies.

So there, I said it, and I'm not scared, I'll say it again.  I MAKE CORNED BEEF FOR THE VEGGIES.  Perhaps I should rename it CABBAGE, CARROT, PARSNIP, POTATO, and corned beef.  I don't think that's a big google search though . . .

To wrap up my confession here, if you like meat, you will LOVE Corned Beef and Cabbage.  If you favor the veggies, you will still LOVE Corned Beef and Cabbage.  The end.

Enjoy!

Note:  If you have any leftover corned beef, be sure and make this Instant Pot Reuben Style Frittata – INCREDIBLE!!!  You can also use deli pastrami and easily throw it together anytime.  The Russian Dressing is heavenly!

  • Author: Marci
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 90 minutes
  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x
  • Category: Entree
  • Method: Pressure cooker
  • Cuisine: American / Irish

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 – 4 pound corned beef brisket – flat cut, trimmed of fat
  • 15 oz can beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen pearl onions (or 1 small onion, coarsely chopped)
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Optional: seasoning packet if it was included with the brisket package (add 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns to the broth if you don't have the included seasoning packet)
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large discs
  • 2 large parsnips, peeled and cut into large discs
  • 1 small head of cabbage cut into 4 even wedges
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby red or golden potatoes

For the Horseradish Cream Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon prepared grated horseradish (usually found in a small glass jar in the refrigerated section)
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream or greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place brisket in the pressure cooker pot.  Add beef broth, onion, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, and the contents of the seasoning packet if it was included with your brisket package (if not, add peppercorns).  Stir lightly so most everything is sitting in the broth.  Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 90 minutes.
  2. While the meat cooks, make the Horseradish Cream Sauce by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.  Can be made up to 3 days in advance if desired.
  3. When pressure cooking is complete, use a natural release (could also use a natural release for 10 minutes and then quick release the rest by turning the knob).
  4. Carefully remove meat, place it on a cutting board, and cover with foil and a kitchen towel to keep warm.  Strain the liquid into a large bowl (or I like to use a large fat separator so my liquid won't be so greasy).  Discard the solids and pour the liquid back into the pressure cooker pot.  Add carrots, parsnips, cabbage, and potatoes.  Again secure the lid and turn the pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 6 minutes.
  5. When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
  6. Slice meat or cut into chunks and pour a bit of the cooking liquid over top.
  7. To serve, place meat on a plate with a scoop of veggies.  Drizzle meat with the Horseradish Cream Sauce and ENJOY!

Freezer Instructions

  1. I've not tried this yet, but I suspect you could trim and freeze the brisket, then cook for the same 90 minutes at High Pressure as written above.  I will update here once I've tried it!

Notes

  • If you want more of a Corned Beef and Veggies Stew, place meat and veggies in a bowl, give it a drizzle of horseradish sauce, and spoon some of the leftover broth over top and serve with a piece of crusty bread – SO YUMMY!

    First time making corned beef today, and it was so yummy! I’m going to try using leftovers tomorrow in Reuben sandwiches. The veggies were good too but my cabbage was mushy. Next time I think I’ll cook the veggies at a shorter time.

      Alyssa, The leftovers make the best Reuben! Good to know on the veggies, I usually leave mine cut quite large, but I think you could easily knock the time down a minute. I’m glad you liked it!

      Patti, I’m so happy to hear that! My meat is in the mail so I won’t be making it until next week, but I’m drooling over the thoughts of the cabbage right now, that’s my favorite part!

    Super excited to make this! My favorite part of the corned beef and cabbage is the veggies too! Parsnips are one of my all time favorites, and growing up we also added turnips. Which I may do with this, and exclude carrots which I’m not big on. We also traditionally put a slice of bread on a plate, rye or sourdough, then ladled everything on top of it, and the bread would soak up all the delicious broth, and get eaten last. My dad butters his, which I think is just overkill, but to each their own.

    I do have a question- If I wanted to double the veggies, I’m guessing I’d also have to double the broth. I wouldn’t want to lose any flavor by diluting and I’m certainly not going to buy two cuts of meat just to get the spice packet, any suggestions?

    Thanks!

      Susan, I love the turnip idea! I would happily swap that for the carrots as well. I’ve never seen anyone serve it over bread but that is absolutely happening at my house. It’s like a bread bowl type vibe that I just adore! I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think you’d need to double the broth. The extra veggies should cook up just fine. Great idea!

    OMG! I made this last night and DELISH!!! Even my non-professional picture looks tantalizing! What I will try next time is to pressure cook the veggies for 4 min to have them a little firmer. The Horsey-sauce is to die for! Very excited about this recipe, too, as eating organic, there is none offered in supermarkets that I can find without so many ingredients we don’t want. Now, we can enjoy Horsey-sauce anytime! And, since St. Patty’s day is this weekend, I’m headed back to the grocery to get one or two more corned-beef briskets while they are on special! Thank you! (I have to try your Corned-Beef Frittata now, too!)

      Sandi, I’m so happy you can enjoy “horsey sauce” again :). I could slather just about anything with that good stuff. Yes, for sure keep some left overs for the frittata and let me know what you think of it, I love that frittata. Thanks so much for letting me know what you thought!

    We make This every year astound st. Patty’s day…however this is the first year I have done it in the instant pot!! I followed this recipe and it was delish!! My whole family enjoyed it. I also have to day that it was probably the easiest and for sure fastest way! The corned beef was sooo tender and the veggies were perfect. My cabbage was a bit on the “really soft” side…but we loved it! Perfect sunday meal for us today!!

    I’m so glad you posted this – I love both meat AND veggies, but have never tried parsnips, so that will be fun!

    This is the recipe I use for my corned beef too. I haven’t done the vegetables in the pressure cooker because I’m always afraid I’m going to overcook them so I use the juice from the meat and do them stove top. Dumb I know…one of these days I’ll get brave. 🙂

    I make my horseradish cream sauce the same way you do. I add a splash of fresh lemon juice to add a little fresh pop. It’s such a great side kick to the whole dinner.

    My husband is like yours though-the corned beef is his favorite. I like both-and it’s a treat once a year. I always seem to have more vegetables than meat at the end so I usually make a soup with the lot of it….it’s really good!

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and yours, Marci! 🙂

      Carol, Cook the veggies in the pot using the time I gave, it’s perfect! I love the lemon idea, that would be a great addition. Thank you sweet Carol!
