This corn beef and cabbage is made with bacon, and is out of this world good! It may be the most famous dish to eat on St. Patrick's Day, but this Irish-American corned beef recipe is a favorite at our table all year long. I don't use the seasoning packet that comes with corn beef because biting down on hard round pepper with tender meat is not my ideal meal LOL. Make it in the crock pot or instant pot, we have directions for both Enjoy!~

2.53 Pound Corn Beef

4 Cups Chicken Broth

1/2 Pound Bacon

2 TBSP Minced Garlic

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Pepper

6 Red Medium Potatoes

How to make Instant Pot
Corn Beef and Cabbage

  • Start by adding the chicken broth to your Instant Pot. If your broth is frozen, you can use the "Sauté" function to melt it. Stir occasionally until it's fully thawed.

  • Add the corned beef, bacon, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the Instant Pot with the broth.

  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring that it's set to the "Sealing" position, not "Venting."

  • Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" function and set the timer for 90 minutes.

  • When the timer goes off, allow the pressure valve to release naturally (NR), which means waiting for the pressure to drop on its own. This may take some time.

  • Once the pressure valve has dropped, carefully do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.

  • Carefully remove the corned beef from the Instant Pot and transfer it to a plate. It will be very tender, so be gentle.

  • Leave the bacon in the cooking liquid, and cut it into small pieces.

  • Cover the corned beef with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

  • While the corned beef is resting, prepare the vegetables. Quarter the cabbage, chop the red potatoes, measure the carrots, and quarter the onion.

  • Add all the prepared vegetables to the Instant Pot with the cooking juices from the corned beef and bacon.

  • Place the lid back on the Instant Pot and set the timer for 10 minutes.

  • Once the timer is done, do a quick release to release the pressure.

  • While the vegetables are cooking, slice the rested corned beef into thin slices.

  • Transfer the sliced corned beef to a serving platter, placing it in the center.

  • Arrange the cooked vegetables around the corned beef on the serving platter.

  • Drizzle some of the cooking juices over the corned beef and vegetables for added flavor.

  • Serve your delicious Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage and enjoy your meal!
