Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ cups of apple cider
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (3 lb) corned beef brisket with spice packet
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Add water, apple cider, and minced garlic to the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside, then position the brisket on top. Sprinkle the spice packet over the meat.
Cook the Brisket
- Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 90 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release Pressure & Rest
- Use the quick-release method to safely release pressure (about 5 minutes). Carefully remove the lid. Transfer the brisket to a baking sheet, cover with foil, and let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Add Vegetables
- For a complete meal, remove the trivet after cooking the brisket. Add baby carrots, quartered potatoes, and cabbage wedges to the broth. Secure the lid, cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.
Serve & Enjoy
- Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the cooked vegetables.
