Instant Pot Corned Beef
This Instant Pot corned beef recipe is straightforward to prepare and can be ready in a mere two hours. The beef brisket is simmered with beer and garlic in an electric pressure cooker, ensuring that you achieve perfectly juicy and tender corned beef every time. For a complete meal, consider cooking baby carrots, quartered potatoes, and cabbage wedges in the bottom of the Instant Pot while allowing the corned beef to rest.
Ingredients
- 1 3 pound corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 12 fluid ounce can or bottle of beer
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients.
- In a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot, combine the water, beer, and minced garlic.
- Insert the trivet into the pot, then place the brisket atop the trivet. Sprinkle the spice packet evenly over the brisket. Secure the lid in place. Select the high-pressure setting according to the manufacturer's instructions and set the timer for 90 minutes, allowing approximately 10 minutes for pressure to build.
- After the cooking time has elapsed, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as directed by the manufacturer, which typically takes around 5 minutes. Once safe, unlock and remove the lid.
- Carefully transfer the brisket to a baking sheet, covering it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of your meal!
