Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to reduce excess saltiness. Pat dry and place it in your Instant Pot.
  2. Pour in your choice of water or beef broth, and add quartered onion, smashed garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and the spice packet that came with the brisket.
  3. Close the Instant Pot lid tightly and set the cooker to Pressure Cook/Manual on high for 90 minutes.
  4. Once cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the corned beef and set it aside. Toss in baby potatoes, carrots, and cabbage into the pot with the flavorful cooking liquid.
  6. Seal the lid again and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on high for another 5 minutes.
  7. Once the timer goes off, perform a quick pressure release. Carefully remove the veggies for serving.
  8. Slice the corned beef against the grain into thin slices.
  9. Plate the corned beef alongside the cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Optionally serve with hard-boiled eggs.

Pair with mustard or horseradish for an extra flavor kick. Allowing the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure helps keep flavors intact.
