Ingredients
There are only three ingredients in this mouth-watering recipe. I can hardly call this a recipe it’s so easy. Just put three simple ingredients including the corned beef brisket into the Pressure Cooker, select the Meat setting, set it for 90 minutes, and let it do its magic.
- Corned Beef Brisket – You can buy corned beef in most local grocery stores. You might think they only sell them in March for St. Patrick’s Day, but my grocer sells them year-round.
- Seasoning Pack that comes with the brisket – Too easy! Most package corned beef briskets are packaged with the seasoning pack included.
- Dark Beer – I selected a dark Irish stout because it pairs nicely with the corned beef flavor.

Reader Questions

1 TBS pickle seasoning

There are two schools of thought regarding rinsing the corned beef before cooking it. The first is to rinse the brisket with water to remove the excess salt from the curing process. The second is not to rinse the brisket. I choose the second method. I do not rinse the corned beef because I think it washes away the deep flavors of the corned beef. You can try it both ways and decide what’s best for you.
