Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 90 mins
Total Time: 100 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs corned beef brisket
- 1 onion, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 head cabbage, cut into wedges
- 4 carrots, cut into large pieces
- 4 potatoes, quartered
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
Instructions
- Remove corned beef brisket from packaging and pat dry with paper towels. If brisket came with a seasoning packet, set it aside.
- Place trivet inside Ninja Foodi pressure cooking pot. Pour beef broth into the bottom of the pot.
- Place corned beef brisket on the trivet, fat side up. Sprinkle mustard seeds over the top of the brisket and add quartered onion and minced garlic around the meat.
- Close the Ninja Foodi lid and set valve to "Seal" position. Select Pressure Cook function and set timer for 75-85 minutes, depending on brisket thickness (approximately 15 minutes per pound).
- Once cooking cycle completes, allow natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then carefully do a quick release of remaining pressure.
- Open lid and remove brisket, setting it aside and tenting with aluminum foil to rest and retain moisture.
- Add potato quarters, carrot pieces, and cabbage wedges to the remaining broth in the pot. Select Pressure Cook again and set for 4-5 minutes.
- After vegetables are cooked, quick release pressure and arrange vegetables on a serving platter.
- Slice corned beef against the grain into thin slices and place on the platter alongside vegetables.
- Optional: For crispy exterior, place sliced brisket under broiler for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with additional mustard or horseradish sauce on the side.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: Opt for a 3-4 lbs corned beef brisket for optimal tenderness. The larger the cut, the more flavorful the dish will be after pressure cooking.
- Seasoning Matters: If your brisket comes with a seasoning packet, don't forget to use it! The spices enhance the flavor, making your dish even more delicious.
- Pressure Cooking Time: Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your brisket. A good rule of thumb is about 15 minutes per pound, so keep that in mind for perfect results.
- Natural Pressure Release: Allowing the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes helps the meat retain moisture, ensuring it’s juicy and flavorful.
- Vegetable Cooking: Don’t overcrowd the pot with vegetables. Layer them properly and ensure they’re cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Broiling for Crispiness: For an extra touch, broil the sliced brisket for 2-3 minutes after pressure cooking. This step adds a delightful crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender meat.
- Serve with Condiments: Enhance your meal with a side of mustard or horseradish sauce. These condiments add a zesty kick that complements the rich flavors of the corned beef.
