Pressure cooked corn beef and cabbage

Since I work on St. Patrick’s day I made corn beef and cabbage early!  Omg this is the best I’ve ever made!  Pressure cooking is the way to go!


3-5 lbs corn beef
1 bottle beer your choice
1/4 cup Worcestershire
Seasoning packet that came with brisket

Glaze

1/4 cup whole grain mustard
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tbsp balsamic of your choice I used fig
2 tbsp brown sugar ( I used Splenda brown sugar)

Place brisket into ninja foodie or instant pot.  Pour in beer, Worcestershire and seasoning packet close and pressure cook for 90 min.  Then let fully natural release.   Mix glaze ingredients together and set aside.  Once completed remove corn beef and set aside.  Place new potatoes and cabbage quarters into pot with remaining liquid.  Close and pressure cook for 3 min.  Then do a Quick release.    Remove veggies to plate.  Place rack into ninja and put in low position.  Put corn beef with glaze on rack and pressure crisp for 5 min.  If you don’t have a ninja foodie then use the broiler until glaze is golden brown.

Best corn beef and cabbage ever!
