  • Add 1½ cups of water to the Instant Pot and place the rack inside. Add corned beef and top with sliced onions and garlic cloves.
  • Pour a 12-ounce bottle of beer over the brisket and sprinkle with more corned beef spices, if desired. Lock lid in place and seal.
  • Pressure cook for 90 minutes, then do a natural release for 10 minutes, followed by a quick release.

Notes

  • Choose your favorite beer, but an Irish beer, for example, Guinness is always a great option.
  • The onions and garlic can also be added to the liquid before adding the brisket into the pot.
  • This method can be used with an Instant Pot as well as a Ninja Foodi with the same excellent results.
  • The brisket can also be placed directly inside the pot instead of on the rack.
  • Leftovers can be used to make Irish nachos, Irish tacos, and reuben sandwiches!
  • You can also use pickling spices if you don't want to make your own corned beef spice mix.
