This comforting corned beef and cabbage recipe comes together in just over an hour. A quick sear of the brisket before locking the lid ensures a flavorful corned beef, and then after 30 minutes, all of the vegetables take a dip into the pot for another five minutes. The finishing touches are a perked-up sour cream sauce to brighten each plate and a shower of fresh parsley.

Then, top off your meal with a traditional Irish dessert such as Irish soda bread. Whether you're making this satisfying meal on St. Patrick's Day or any other night of the year, you'll feel lucky to have gotten dinner for eight done so effortlessly.

Ingredients

  • 1 3 1⁄2-lb. pkg. uncooked corned beef brisket with spice packet

  • 1 cup unsalted beef broth

  • 1 ½ pounds yellow baby potatoes

  • 4 carrots, sliced into 2-in. pieces (about 2 1⁄2 cups)

  • 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges, core intact

  • cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

Directions

  1. Select sauté setting on a multi-cooker (such as an Instant Pot). Remove brisket from package, reserving spice packet; rinse brisket in cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides of brisket with contents of spice packet.

  2. Place brisket, fat side down, in cooker; cook for 2 minutes. Flip and add broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Lock lid and turn steam-release handle to sealing position. Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes.

  3. Quick-release the pressure. Remove lid and add potatoes, carrots, and cabbage in layers on top of brisket. Lock lid and turn steam-release handle to sealing position. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, stir together sour cream, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon parsley, and 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

  5. Quick-release the pressure. Remove brisket from pot and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with vegetables, topped with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper. Serve with sour cream sauce.
