Did you know the “Corn” in corn beef actually refers to the salt in the cure? Large grain rock salt use to be known as ‘corns” of salt use to cure the beef but we don’t use this term today.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 120 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1(4-pound)corned beef brisket
6 to 8 small to medium red potatoes, cut in half or quarters
2 to 3 medium carrots, pared and cut into chunks
1 large onion, chunked
1/2 head cabbage, cut into chunks

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together apple juice, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour over the corned beef.
4. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
5. Using the display panel select MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK functions. Use the +/- buttons to program the Insta Pot for 70 minutes for corn beef you can slice or 90 minutes if you want it to “fall apart”. (remember it may take 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build before the timer starts)
6. When time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
7. Remove corned beef to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil to rest.
8. Remove the trivet and place the vegetables into pot with the reserved juices. Secure lid and make sure the vent is closed.
