INSTANT POT 

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

I can now make my traditional Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage in the instant pot. It cooks up tender in only 90 minutes, and cabbage in just minutes more.

Below is another recipe that I really liked. It is about the same but adds onion.https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-corned-beef/#recipe

My family really likes corned beef. This worked really well and I liked the shorter cook time. I had to cut the corned beef in half to fit it in my instant pot. I only put about 2 garlic cloves in (1 in the water and 1 sprinkled over the top). My corned beef was about 3 1/2 lbs. I used peeled white potatoes instead of red because that is what I had. I didn't cook any cabbage. I cooked the veggies in the instant pot for 4 minutes. They were great but 3 minutes probably would have been even better. This was very tasty.

AUTHOR: Corey Valley


Ingredients

  • 4-5 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups water
  • 2.5-3 lb. corned beef brisket - including spice packet
  • 2 lbs petite red potatoes - quartered
  • 3 cups baby carrots
  • 1 head green cabbage - cut into large wedges

Instructions

  • Place corned beef brisket, spice packet, garlic and 4 cups of water into the instant pot. I used the rack to keep the brisket off the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook on 90 minutes using the meat/stew setting or high pressure for 90 minutes. Once time is up, quick release pressure. Remove corned beef to a platter and cover with foil. Let rest while cooking the vegetables.
  • Without discarding liquid, add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to pressure cooker, you may remove the rack if desired.
  • Cook at high pressure for 4-5 minutes. Do a quick pressure release before removing vegetables.

  • 1 green bell pepper , seeded and chopped
  • 3 green onions , chopped
  • 3 ribs celery , chopped

  • 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Turn instant pot to saute setting. Add oil. Once hot, add sausage slices, cooking until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
  • Add remaining oil to the pot.
  • Add the chicken and cook for one minute, scraping up the browned bits from the sausage. Turn instant pot off. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Add the Cajun seasoning, dried basil, thyme, sugar and rice and stir to combine.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, and salt.
  • Secure the instant pot lid and turn valve to sealing.
  • Cook on Manual High Pressure for 5 minutes. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, and then quick release the remaining pressure.
  • Carefully open the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Add the sausages on top of the rice and return the IP lid to let the mixture rest for an additional 5 minutes. Stir lightly and enjoy!
