Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Begin by rinsing the corned beef under cold water to remove the excess brine, then pat it dry.
- Set Up the Instant Pot: Add the corned beef to the Instant Pot with the fat side facing up. Add the spice packet, beef broth, onion, garlic, mustard seeds, and bay leaf.
- Pressure Cook: Seal the lid, set the Instant Pot to Manual High Pressure for 90 minutes, and let it cook.
- Natural Release: Once the cooking time is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 15 minutes before performing a quick release.
- Add Vegetables: Remove the corned beef and wrap it in foil. Then, place the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage into the Instant Pot. Cook on Manual High Pressure for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve: Let the corned beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve it hot with the vegetables and some grainy mustard on the side.
Notes
Cooking Tips
- Rinsing: Make sure to rinse the corned beef brisket well before cooking, as it helps reduce the saltiness.
- Beer Variation: Replace half of the beef broth with a dark beer like Guinness for a deeper, richer flavor.
