A quick and easy Instant Pot recipe for tender, flavorful corned beef and perfectly cooked cabbage, ready in under 90 minutes. This comforting classic is perfect for busy days without sacrificing traditional taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 3–4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 small head green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine, then pat dry with paper towels. (5 minutes)
  2. Place the brisket fat side up into the Instant Pot. Add the seasoning packet, then pour in 4 cups of water. Add bay leaf, mustard seeds, peppercorns, garlic cloves, and quartered onion. (5 minutes)
  3. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to Manual or Pressure Cook on high for 70 minutes. Ensure the valve is set to sealing. (70 minutes cooking)
  4. Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for about 10 minutes, then turn the valve to venting to release remaining steam. (10-15 minutes)
  5. Open the lid carefully. Add carrots, potatoes (if using), and cabbage wedges on top of the brisket. Seal the lid again and pressure cook on high for an additional 5 minutes. (5 minutes cooking)
  6. Quick release the pressure manually when the timer goes off. Remove vegetables with tongs and transfer to a serving dish. Lift the brisket out and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. (10 minutes)
  7. Arrange sliced corned beef with cooked cabbage, carrots, and potatoes on a platter. Spoon some cooking liquid over for extra flavor or serve it on the side as broth. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Rinse the brisket to reduce saltiness. Add vegetables after initial cooking to avoid mushiness. Let brisket rest before slicing for juiciness. Adjust cooking time if using frozen brisket. For extra tang, serve with Dijon mustard. Keep an eye on liquid levels to prevent burning.
