Description

Succulent Instant Pot Corned Beef delivers Irish-inspired comfort straight to kitchen tables with remarkable tenderness. Rich, savory flavors meld perfectly, promising a hearty meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 (3 pound / 1.36 kilogram) corned beef brisket with spice packet

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480 milliliters) water
  • 1 (12 fluid ounces / 355 milliliters) can or bottle of beer

Aromatics:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Pour ale and water into the Instant Pot’s inner vessel, creating a flavorful braising liquid.
  2. Crush and distribute aromatic garlic cloves across the base of the pot.
  3. Carefully position the robust corned beef brisket atop the garlic, ensuring it sits comfortably in the liquid.
  4. Generously dust the entire cut with the accompanying spice blend, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
  5. Securely fasten the lid, engaging the pressure cooking mechanism and programming the device to intense heat for 90 minutes.
  6. After the cooking cycle completes, allow the appliance to decompress organically for 10 minutes, permitting internal steam to gradually dissipate.
  7. Execute a swift pressure release to eliminate any residual internal pressure.
  8. Extract the tender brisket from the cooking chamber, transferring it to a cutting surface.
  9. Using a sharp carving knife, slice the meat against the grain into elegant, uniform portions.
  10. Transfer the succulent slices to a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed with accompanying side dishes.

Notes

  • Opt for a fatty brisket cut to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor when pressure cooking.
  • Rinse the corned beef before cooking to reduce excess saltiness and remove surface brine.
  • Consider adding root vegetables like carrots and potatoes during the last 15 minutes of cooking for a complete one-pot meal.
  • For a leaner option, trim visible fat before cooking and choose a flat-cut brisket instead of point-cut.
