Instructions
  1. Pour beer into Instant Pot.
  2. Use seasoning packet as a rub to thoroughly coat corned beef. Place beef in the pot.
  3. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  4. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function* . Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 70 minutes for a sliceable corned beef, 90 minutes if you want it “fall-apart” tender.
  5. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  6. Remove corned beef to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil to rest, reserving juices.
  7. Remove the trivet and place the vegetables into the pot with the reserved juices. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  8. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function* . Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
  9. When the time is up, quick-release the pressure.
  10. Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with vegetables.
Recipe Notes

*If your Instant Pot does not have a MANUAL function, use the Pressure Cook function.

    Took me a second to realize that I needed to put the trivet in for the meet. The instructions left that part out…

    This was amazing! I would let the corn beef cook for 90 mins it was tender but for fall off it need a little extra time! Other them that amazing we did a whole head of lettuce and 4 potatoes cut up and timed it for 6 mins!

    The meat even being cooked at the exact time for the recipe was still really tough! And if your meat is in a brine, it will still be super salty.

    Best corned beef I have ever made. Used dark beer, 1 cup beef broth and only 2 cups water instead of beer and 4 cups water. Still lots of liquid and very flavorful. Will try ssme recipe in slow cooker for comparisonn.

    I don’t know about 3 minutes for the cabbage carrots and potatoes I think they need to cook a lot longer

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This was quick, easy and delicious! I also sprinkled a teaspoon of Coriander and Black Peppercorns over the corned beef and added 3 Bay Leaves, 3 cloves of Garlic and half a Yellow Onion (quartered) in with the beer.

    Loved it !! Left out the part about using the trivet but figured it out in the next paragraph. Cooked the vegetables 8 minutes, i used a whole head if cabbage. I cooked the corned beef 90 minutes.

    I use the beef broth instead of the Guinness beer and I went for 90 minutes while I was waiting for the potatoes to cook I put it in the oven and broiled it for 5 minutes. I won’t use the language I like to describe how delicious it was.
    Thank you and Happy St Patrick’s Day

    Great taste, used 90 minutes at high pressure but wasnt fall apart. Also cabbage was chrunchy, i like it soft and tender.

    Cook it longer than in the recipe for tender sliced. I soaked it in water to get some salty brine out. Cooked 1 yesterday 2 today. No I didn’t put two in at once. And trim all the fat off before cooking as it doesn’t get tender.

    Not enough time for a 4# corned beef. I had to recook it for 20 minutes and then for another 30 minutes.

    Hi Nash2929,

    3 Minutes should cook the veggies but it all depends on your preference on doneness of the vegetables. For soft cook 3 minutes or longer and for a crunch use a shorter cooking time.

    Wow, this came out perfect, followed the recipe, except for I didn’t bother to measure the veggies just filled pot to the max point. Veggies were infused with meat flavor and cooked just right.

    Cooked a 2.25# corned beef for 70 minutes. It was definitely NOT tender. Put it back in for additional 20 minutes with no improvenent. Would not do again!!
