    What is Corned Beef?<\/h2>\n

    Corned Beef is a beef roast, usually the brisket, that has been salt-cured to tenderize and preserve the meat. And Corned Beef is not actually a traditional Irish food; it’s something Irish people started eating when they came to America. Here’s more about corned beef and why it’s popular for St. Patrick’s Day in the U.S.<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    How long should you cook Corned Beef in the Instant Pot?<\/h2>\n

    Cooking corned beef in the pressure cooker is so foolproof and easy that you barely need a recipe. When I first tried it I checked a lot of sources online for tips, and I did find variations in the suggested cooking time. Over and over people recommended 90 minutes at high pressure, and that will produce ultra-tender corned beef. But if you want corned beef that holds together well for sandwiches, I’d cut the cooking time down to 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

    What Size Instant Pot Did I Use for Instant Pot Corned Beef?<\/h2>\n

    I used a 6 Quart Instant Pot<\/a> (affiliate link) for this recipe, but you can use the instructions for an electric pressure cooker or stovetop pressure cooker as well. Check out my growing collection of Instant Pot Recipes<\/a>! <\/p>\n

    How low in carbs is Instant Pot Corned Beef?<\/h2>\n

    1. If you can get flat cut corned beef it will be easier to slice. Most of the time one side will have quite a thick layer of fat. I cut off most of that, and the fat that was left scraped off easily once the meat was cooked.<\/li>\n
    2. You can use the spice packet that comes with the meat if you prefer, but I used Bay Leaves, peppercorns, Dried Thyme, and an onion to flavor the meat. I used low-sodium chicken broth for the liquid. <\/li>\n
    3. Set the pressure cooker or Instant Pot to MANUAL, HIGH PRESSURE, 90 minutes. (If you want meat that’s a bit less tender so you can slice it for sandwiches, you can reduceto 80 minutes.)<\/li>\n
    4. When time is up, use the natural release method for 20 minutes and then release any additional pressure.<\/li>\n
    5. While the corned beef cooks, mix together sour cream and mayo and stir in cream style horseradish to taste for the Creamy Horseradish Sauce.<\/li>\n
    6. Slice corned beef against the grain to serve.<\/li>\n
    7. Serve hot and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Make it a Low-Carb Meal:<\/h2>\n

      Instant Pot Corned Beef would be delicious for a low-carb meal served with Roasted Cabbage with Lemon<\/a>, Spicy Baked Cabbage<\/a>, or Low-Carb Colcannon with Bacon<\/a>. And if you’re a turnip fan this would be amazing with Roasted Turnips<\/a> or Turnip Gratin with Bacon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
