Instant Pot St. Patty’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage
Top of the morning to you! If you’re looking for something EASY and delicious to make for St. Patrick’s Day I’ve got a great recipe for you. After making Instant Pot St. Patty’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage I will never make corned beef in any other way again. The Instant Pot makes it so fast and easy. The corned beef turns out tender and sliceable. You need to try it!
You’ll start this recipe by placing a quartered onion and some broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Next you’ll rinse off the corned beef. It’s important to rinse the corned beef because the beef has been cured or “corned.” This is a pickling process that uses a lot of salt and spices to infuse the meat. There will be excess salt lingering on the surface of the brisket. By rinsing off the meat you’ll make sure it’s not too salty of a meal. Don’t worry because rinsing the brisket won’t make the beef taste bland! The flavor is infused deep into the beef during the curing process.
Next you’ll place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the rinsed corned beef on top (I had a trivet that came with my Instant Pot). You’ll pressure cook it for 70 minutes. 70 minutes will give you a tender but sliceable corned beef. While the corned beef is cooking you can prepare your potatoes, carrots and cabbage. After the corned beef has finished with a natural pressure release you can move it to a cutting board to rest. Pop the vegetables into Instant Pot and pressure cook for 3 minutes. Perfectly cooked vegetables that are seasoned well from the corned beef will come out of your pot. Slice up the corned beef thinly and serve with the vegetables and enjoy a wonderful meal!
What to do with leftover corned beef? Make a Rueben sandwich! Pile corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on top of grilled slices of rye bread. Or try my Instant Pot Red Flannel Hash! It’s so good! You could also use corned beef in the place of smoked sausage in the Instant Pot campfire hash.

Just curious why does this one say 70 minutes but your other recipe says 90 minutes roughly the same sized piece of corned beef?

Lol i don’t know! I guess 90 minutes will be ultra fall apart tender and 70 minutes will be sliceable tender
Do you add the carrots, cabbage and red potatoes on top of the trivet after cooking the corned beef? The recipe didn’t say for sure.
★★★★★
yes that’s what I would do…some of them might fall through and that’s okay.
Karen,
Thanks for the answer on the 8.60 lbs. cooking time:) it turned out amazing!!
Yes, we found that big one at a market that s as Lis sells to restaurants and it was on sale !!!! Perfect leftovers for sandwiches !!!
★★★★★
Nice!
Hi Karen,
I want to cook 8.60 pounds in the IP. How much time do I set it for ?
Thank you !!
★★★★★
I would cook it for 90 minutes. I hope it will fit! That is big!
Will this recipe work in my 3 quart Instant Pot?
If the corned beef is small enough to fit then yes.
Very tasty, made this tonight. Loved it!
★★★★★
Thanks Robert! I am glad to hear it!
I didn’t totally love the flavor the beef broth gave the corned beef, but I loved how easy this was, and the vegetables tasted great. If I did this again I would try a different liquid and cook the corned beef a bit longer so it’s a little more tender.
★★★
Good to know. thanks for weighing in!
This was the best corned beef and cabbage that I have ever made. When I would boil my dinner it was too soft, but when I made this recipe in my instapot I was able to slice the meat. We were very impressed with it.
★★★★★
I know, right?! It’s the best!
This is how i’m making my Corned beef and Cabbage from now on!
★★★★★
I have been cooking the cabbage in the same liquid the corned beef was cooked in and the cabbage turns brown after cooking for three minutes. The cabbage tastes o.k. but looks unappetizing. Should I remove all of the liquid except maybe one cup before cooking the vegetables? BTW, I usually cook a flat cut and a point cut at the same time for 90 minutes, always turns out delicious. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes you could totally take most of the liquid out and that would work well!
I bought a set of steamer baskets for the Instant Pot at Walmart and I use them when I do the veggies. Remove most of the liquid and put the potatoes and carrots in the basket with the cabbage wedges lying on top. Works perfectly with no discoloration. Coincidentally, the steamer baskets work great cor making potatoes and eggs for potato salad in 4 minutes!
I would like to make enough for a larger group of 8. I have an 8 quart instant pot. How would I change the recipe? Thanks so much.
I would just cook 2 corned beef briskets at the same time. Use same cooking time.
Thank you. I love your recipes. I can always trust them to be great!
I made this for my husband and myself for St. Patrick’s day. It was absolutely delicious! First time my making a delicious corned beef! Love your recipes!

Oh I’m glad! Hopefully it becomes a tradition for you every March 17th!
Is there anyway you can notate in the recipe that it is in your cookbook?
Yes I need to do that sorry. All the recipes after august 2020 should be new recipes that are not in the cookbook.
Leftovers? You had leftovers? Maybe you mean the second brisket I cook while we eat the first. This is a family favorite and goes fast and my grandsons each have a hollow leg. My daughter and I have been known to hide various tidbits in dummy containers, shh don’t tell on us. Will follow your instructions on the next brisket I fix.
Yes good plan with the dummy containers. Save the sour cream and cool whip containers for that!!
Cottage cheese containers, neither of them would touch that. We also have a container that says liver pate, won’t even touch it to move it out of the way.
Liver pate 🤣
Can I get the slow cooker version please?
Here’s a good way to make corned beef in the sc: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/slow-cooker-corned-beef-dinner-with-mustard-sauce/
What changes should I make if I only want to make half of this recipe?
Thanks!
Halve all the ingredients except the liquid and keep the same cooking time 🙂
Do I need to add extra broth or time for a 4lb corned beef?
I had a 4lb brisket and I cooked for 90 minutes in my ninja foodi 8qt. It was done and easily lifted out to slice, but I like my corned beef falling apart. I could’ve added more time. I also used 4 cups of broth to cook my vegetables in and I cooked them for 4 minutes because I like very soft veggies, too.
Thanks Shannon. This helps.

No problem
Nope, same amount of broth
