Instant Pot Keto Corned Beef Brisket
While even though I’m not Irish, I still appreciate celebrating the arrival of Spring and St. Patty’s Day with a tender and juicy Keto Corned Beef Brisket, made in just a fraction of the time in your Pressure Cooker!
When Ray and I moved in to our house way back in 2000, his first request was that we invited his whole family over for Corned Beef Brisket for his Birthday. It was the first BIG meal that I ever made. I think we ended up with 4 briskets and 20+ people. I remember Ray’s grandmother (Fannie, aka Nan Ryczek) talking to me about how amazing it was that I cooked for so many people!
Needless to say, Corned Beef Brisket has a special place in our hearts.
And I’m not afraid to tell you that, even though I take great pride in sourcing the best of the best, high quality meats, we still indulge in a regular-old-bright-pink corned beef once a year.
Health isn’t about Perfection, it’s about Balance.
So, if you’re one of those elitist folks who’s got it all figured out and are looking to project your food-perfectionism on me… well keep it moving sweet cheeks!
By making your Corned Beef Brisket in a pressure cooker, you’re dramatically cutting down the cooking time while maintaining the texture and deliciousness you expect!
Which Pressure Cooker is Best?
If you’ve been following me over the past 8+ years then you already know that I’m a old-school pressure cooker fan. I learned using an old stove top pressure cooker in my grandmother’s kitchen back in the early 1990’s and haven’t stopped creating since!
For the past 5 years I’ve been in love with the GoWise Pressure Cookers and still think they are AWESOME but recently upgraded to the Instant Pot Max to utilize their higher pressure settings for safely using an electric pressure cooker for canning.
The only downfall currently is that it’s not available in an 8 quart model to hold more jars!
But anyway, if you are new to pressure cooking or looking to purchase your first multi cooker, I recommend both. That being said, no matter what brand you choose, make sure the interior pot is stainless steel and NOT coated for the optimal healthy cooking situation
How to Cook a Corned Beef Brisket in a Pressure Cooker
Cooking a corned beef brisket in your instant pot is so easy!
I start out with the spice pack that comes with your corned beef brisket, bay leaf, onion and garlic with water in the bottom of my pressure cooker, along with my rack…
Then lay my brisket on top…..
Cook under high or standard pressure for 1 hour and 30 minutes…
With a corned beef brisket, you can choose to use the quick release or allow it to naturally depressurize. The extra cooking time with natural depressurization won’t negatively effect the results.
Remove your brisket from your cooker and it will be so tender, it will basically fall apart!
To make it a meal serve with Sautéed Cabbage and/or The Best Keto Mashed Cauliflower. But what ever you do, don’t forget my Addictively Delicious Horseradish Sauce!
