A quick and easy Instant Pot recipe for tender corned beef brisket cooked with root vegetables, delivering classic flavors without the all-day wait.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 small to medium red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 large onion, peeled and quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Pickling spice packet (or 2 tablespoons mustard seed, coriander, peppercorns, and bay leaves blend)
  • 4 cups beef broth or water (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels. Peel and cut carrots, parsnips, and potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Quarter the onion and smash the garlic cloves.
  2. Pour 4 cups of beef broth or water into the Instant Pot. Add the pickling spice packet or loose spices and bay leaves to the liquid.
  3. Place the brisket fat-side down in the broth. Layer the onion, garlic, and root vegetables around and on top of the brisket.
  4. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 90 minutes.
  5. Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 15 minutes after cooking.
  6. Carefully open the lid and use tongs to transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Remove the vegetables and keep warm.
  7. Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a platter with the root vegetables and ladle some cooking liquid over the top or serve on the side.

Notes

Rinse the brisket to reduce saltiness. Layer vegetables on top to avoid overcooking. Use natural pressure release to keep meat tender. Adjust cooking time for brisket size: 75 minutes for smaller cuts, 100 minutes for larger. Simmer broth on ‘Sauté’ mode to thicken if desired. Slice against the grain for tenderness.
