Corned Beef

October 10, 2015

Ingredients

Package of corned beef (with the seasoning packet)
4 cups of water
Onion
Potatoes
Carrots
Cabbage

Instructions

  1. Rinse the meat to get rid of as much salt as possible
  2. Cut the meat into 4 pieces (easier to fit into my Instant Pot and it cooks faster).
  3. Place it in the pot trying to make one level layer.
  4. Pour in the water and sprinkle the seasoning packet on the meat.
  5. Cut the onion into fourths and add it in too.

  6. Set the Instant Pot to 70 minutes on high.
  7. When the timer goes off let it natural release for 15 minutes before releasing the pressure.
  8. Take the meat out.
  9. Cut up the potatoes into 12 inch chucks. You can them to cook completely in the same time as the other vegetables.
  10. Cut the cabbage into 1/8ths.
  11. Put all of the vegetables into the Instant Pot. Since I have two pots I normally have this ready in the second pot and simply pour two cups of the liquid from the meat into the second pot.
  12. Cook the vegetables for 7 minutes on high with a quick release.

Notes

I used more than 4 cups of water with a 4+ lb corned beef and when I released the pressure liquid came shooting out of the top. I likely won’t ever use more that 4 cups again. Some recipes say to make sure that the beef is covered in water like you would do in a pot, but in a pressure cooker I’m not sure that is a factor.
