Ingredients
  

  • 4.5 lbs Corned Beef with seasoning packet
  • 2.5 Cups water
  • 12 oz Lager
  • 1 tbsp pickling spice Optional! I used one by McCormick

Optional

  • 2lbs baby potatoes, carrots, cabbage a combined weight of 2lbs total, not 2lbs of each ingredient.

Instructions
 

  • Place 2.5 cups of water in your 6qt instant pot
  • Cut corned beef into two smaller pieces and then wash off your corned beef with water
  • Place meat rack on top of the water, then place corned beef on meat rack in your Instant Pot
  • Use the seasoning packet that comes with your corned beef to sprinkle all over the corned beef and in between the two pieces
  • Pour the lager over the corned beef
  • Add pickling spice on top
  • Seal your instant pot and cook at high pressure for 90 minutes
  • Let your Instant Pot do a natural release for 20 minutes, and then do a manual release
  • Remove corned beef from Instant Pot, let cool a little, cut against the grain, and serve

Optional

  • Add the vegetables to the corned beef liquid. I like to keep the baby potatoes whole, and I cut the carrots and cabbage into large chunks so that they do not get too mushy.
  • Cook for 4 minutes high pressure, followed by a quick release. Serve with your corned beef.
