Instructions
How to Make Corned Beef Instant Pot
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add sliced onions, chopped garlic, minced thyme, and bay leaves until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Place the corned beef brisket fat-side up into the pot. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat, then pour lager-style beer around it.
- Lock the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 80 minutes. Avoid opening during cooking.
- Once cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure. Remove corned beef to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes while reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
- Add halved potatoes and carrot pieces back into the pot with reserved cooking liquid. Seal and cook on high pressure for an additional 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the corned beef and serve it alongside the cooked vegetables. Offer mustard on the side.
Notes
Consider garnishing with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
