Ingredients

2.5 lbs corned beef with spice packet
1 white onion, sliced
2 cups beef broth
2 cups baby carrots or 3 large carrots, cut into big chunks
1 lb baby red potatoes, halved
1 head cabbage halved, core removed and each half cut into 4-5 wedges
fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Instructions

Place the sliced onion on the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Place the brisket on top of the sliced onion.
Add beef broth to the Instant Pot, then sprinkle the beef with pickling spices that are included with the corned beef.
Cook on HIGH pressure for 85 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure once cooking is finished.
Remove the corned beef from the Instant Pot, along with ~1 cup of the liquid, and cover the corned beef with foil to keep warm.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
Cook on HIGH pressure for 3 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure.
Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables, sprinkled with parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Leftover corned beef is delicious in a reuben sandwich or in corned beef hash!

Homemade Pickling Spice. If you'd like to make your own homemade pickling spices, you'll need 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds, 2 teaspoons peppercorn, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon anise seed, 4 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Add the coriander, peppercorn, mustard seed, and anise seed to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves and red pepper flakes and cook one more minute. Then pour the spices into a blender or spice mill and grind/pulse a few times to release the flavors. Then season the beef brisket with the spice rub!
