Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day just isn’t the same without some good old Corned Beef & Cabbage.

But what exactly is Corned Beef? Beef with corns?

Corned Beef is essentially brine-cured beef.

Since the original salt used to cure the beef was so large that it resembles a kernel of corn, hence the name Corned Beef.

Corned Beef was popular back in the Times of World Wars, when preserving meat was essential.

Though Corned Beef has Irish roots, its popularity was mostly brought about by Irish expats in America as they consume it to remember their homeland.

Tools for Instant Pot Corned Beef


1

Rinse Corned Beef


First, rinse the corned beef under cold tap water – be sure to rinse well.

2

Pressure Cook Corned Beef


Add rinsed corned beef, quartered onion, 4 crushed garlic cloves, pickling spices seasoning, and 4 cups (1L) cold water in Instant Pot pressure cooker.

With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position.

  • Pressure Cooking Method: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 70 minutes + Natural Release (~15 minutes)

*Pro Tip #1: If your corned beef is thicker than 1.5 inch, adjust the pressure cooking time by adding 5 – 6 minutes High Pressure Cooking Time for every additional ½ inch.

*Pro Tip #2: If the floating valve doesn’t drop after 15 minutes, release the remaining pressure by turning the venting knob from sealing position to venting position.

Open the lid carefully.

3

Pressure Cook Vegetables


While the Instant Pot is natural releasing, prepare the vegetables as described.

First, set aside the pressure cooked corned beef and 750ml of the hot liquid in a large serving bowl (*note: There should be about 1.5 – 2 cups of liquid left in the Instant Pot pressure cooker).

*Pro Tip: You can keep the reserved broth to store the leftover corned beef (if any) to keep it nice and moist. 🙂

Now, add the quartered red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage wedges in Instant Pot pressure cooker.

  • Pressure Cooking Method: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 2 – 3 minutes + Quick Release

*Pro Tip: The optimal pressure cooking time will depend on the size of your cabbage. Keep in mind that the “going up to pressure time” may differ, so adjust accordingly to avoid overcooking the cabbages.

Open the lid carefully.

Serve Instant Pot Corned Beef


On a chopping board, cut the Corned Beef against the grain into inch slices.

*Pro Tip #1: The corned beef will be easier to cut if you let it cool down a little before cutting into it.

*Pro Tip #2: Slicing the corned beef against the grain results more tender meat! Below photo is an illustration of how to slice against the grain. Sorry, we’re borrowing the flank steak photo for the sake of demo. hehe~

Serve the flavorful corned beef with cabbage wedges, red potatoes and carrots.
