Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage
Corned beef and cabbage is one of those classic comfort meals that looks like it took all day, but the Instant Pot makes it way easier. You still get tender corned beef, flavorful broth, and perfectly cooked cabbage without hovering over the stove for hours. I’ve been sharing comfort food recipes for over a decade, and I’m all about methods that keep the flavor but simplify the process. This Instant Pot corned beef and cabbage gives you corned beef that’s tender and easy to slice, with cabbage and vegetables that soak up all that flavor.

Notes
You can also pair red potatoes with this recipe.
I did not use the seasoning packet that came with the corned beef. You are welcome to use it, but the ingredients above provide immense flavor since the beef is already brined.
