Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) corned beef brisket, with its included spice packet
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 head green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into 6-8 wedges
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch chunks
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for searing)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water and pat it very dry with paper towels.
  2. Using the Sauté function on the Instant Pot, heat the oil. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Turn off Sauté. Place the brisket in the pot. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and the spice packet. Pour in the beef broth.
  4. Secure the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and select Manual/Pressure Cook on High for 90 minutes.
  5. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully vent any remaining pressure.
  6. Transfer the cooked brisket to a cutting board and tent it loosely with foil.
  7. Add the potatoes and carrots to the broth in the pot. Place the cabbage wedges on top.
  8. Secure the lid again and cook on Manual/Pressure Cook for 4 minutes. Perform a quick pressure release.
  9. Slice the corned beef against the grain. Arrange on a platter with the vegetables, garnish with parsley, and serve with the broth.

Notes

For a lower sodium version, rinse the brisket thoroughly and use low-sodium broth. Do not skip the 15-minute natural release for the beef, as it keeps the meat juicy. Always slice the cooked brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.
