Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage is the quickest way to make this classic Irish dish that pairs so well with our no yeast Irish soda bread, making a great meal for any time of the year… not just for St. Patrick’s Day!
Corned beef is actually a brined and cured Beef Brisket. The term comes from brining the meat with large-grained rock salt, also known as “corns” of salt.
If you are on a low sodium diet, rinse the corned beef and then pat dry in order to avoid ingesting excess salt from the brine. I did not rinse mine and it was not too salty at all.
Lock the lid, turn the valve to sealing, and select the manual setting to cook on high pressure for 70 minutes or 35 minutes per pound. Or you may press the meat/steak button and manually adjust the setting for the mentioned time.
