Ingredients
- 5 pounds (2.26kg) corned beef brisket
- spices that come with the corned beef
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ cups (118ml) water
- ½ cup (118ml) lager beer
- 1 medium green cabbage sliced into 6-8 wedges
- 6 large carrots cut into large rounds
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
Instructions
- Remove corned beef brisket from the package and reserve the spices.
- Place meat directly in the bottom of the Instant Pot insert.
- Add spices, minced garlic, water and beer (or substitute ½ cup water for the beer) to the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid, turn the vent to sealing position and set to high pressure, manual/pressure cook for 60 mins for firmer meat, or up to 90 mins for tender succulent meat.
- When done, allow for a full Natural Pressure Release (NPR). Test the corned beef, if it is not cooked to your liking, turn back on and cook for a further 10 mins.
- Next, take out the corned beef along with 4-6 tbsp of the broth, and remove any spices stuck to the meat. Set aside.
- Add the cabbage and carrots to the Instant Pot, close the lid, turn the vent to sealing position and set to high pressure, manual/pressure cook for 3 mins. When done perform a Quick Pressure Release (QPR) and immediately remove the vegetables.
- Slice the beef against the grain and drizzle the broth on top to moisten. Sprinkle with parsley and serve alongside the vegetables.

Notes
- For those following gluten-free, low carb, and keto diets, substitute either beef stock or additional water for the beer.
- Use a food thermometer to make sure the corned beef has been fully cooked before removing it from the Instant Pot. The internal temperature should reach at least 145 degrees F.
- For even more great flavor, add some caramelized onions and crushed garlic to the cabbage and carrots.
- When preparing this recipe using extra water instead of beer, there are 10 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
