Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage (6 Servings)
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of corned Beef (1.5 inches in thickness)
- 4 cups of cold water
- One medium onion, quartered
- Four cloves of garlic, crushed
- One teaspoon of yellow mustard seeds
- One teaspoon of whole black peppercorns
- One teaspoon of coriander seeds
- ½ teaspoon of whole allspice
- Three whole cloves
- Three bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon of ground ginger (optional)
- Six carrots, peeled and cut into 2.5-inch length
- Four red potatoes, cut into quarters
- One cabbage, cut into eight wedges
Instructions
- Rinse the corned beef under cold water, making sure it is thoroughly rinsed.
- In an Instant Pot pressure cooker, combine the washed Corned Beef, divided onion, crushed garlic cloves, pickling spices seasoning, and 4 cups of cold water.
- Close the lid with the Venting Knob in the Venting Position, then turn the Venting Knob to the Sealing position. Cook the corned beef for 70 minutes on high pressure with a 15-minute natural release.
- If after 15 minutes the floating valve still hasn’t dropped, release the residual pressure by rotating the venting knob from sealing to venting. Afterward, carefully remove the cover.
- Begin to prepare the vegetables while the Instant Pot is on natural release.
- In a large serving bowl, set aside the cooked corned Beef and 750ml of the boiling liquid (you should still have about 1.5 – 2 cups of liquid remaining in the Instant Pot). Combine the divided red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage wedges in the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid with the Venting Knob in the Venting Position, then turn the Venting Knob to the Sealing position. Cook for 2–3 minutes on high pressure with a quick release. Carefully remove the cover.
- Cut the corned Beef into ⅛-inch slices against the grain on a chopping board. Serve with red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage wedges.
