Ingredients

• 3 pounds Corned Beef Brisket (or any size)

• 2 pounds Small Potatoes (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 3 large Carrots (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place ONIONS, CORNED BEEF, contents of seasoning packet, and BEER (or broth) in the Instant Pot.

   Secure the lid and turn the pressure release valve to "Sealing".

3. 3

   Select the Manual or Pressure Cook button on HIGH pressure for 90 minutes.

   When cook cycle completes, allow the Instant Pot to rest, undisturbed, for a 20-minute natural pressure release (NPR).

   Press CANCEL on the cooker, open the lid, and transfer corned beef from the pot to a covered plate.Note: At this stage, the internal temperature of your corned beef brisket should be around 190°F, which is ideal for achieving optimal tenderness and juiciness.

   Place the POTATOES in the leftover cooking liquid inside the Instant pot.

   Stack CARROTS (steam basket optional) over the potatoes followed by CABBAGE wedges. Note: Do not let vegetables exceed the "max fill" line.

   Pressure cook on HIGH pressure for 3 minutes (for fork-tender texture) or 2 minutes (for firmer texture), followed by a quick pressure release (QPR).

10. 10

    Transfer vegetables out of the Instant Pot immediately to prevent overcooking.Note: Use the leftover cooking liquid as an au jus for the corned beef or discard it.
