Drunken Corned Beef Recipes

GUINNESS CORNED BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the beef pouch and place the beef in the bottom of the instant pot, fat side up. Add the spice mix from the pouch to the pot if desired.
• Pour the entire can or bottle of Guinness into the pot.
• Add water in the pot until the beef is submerged.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot with the vent closed and sealed. Set the cooking for manual, high, for 70 minutes for sliceable beef or 90 minutes for more tender beef.
• Let the Instant Pot finish cooking and let it sit for 10 minutes on natural release (not touching or venting it). Then open the vent and let the rest of the pressure and steam escape.
• Remove the beef from the liquid. If cooking potatoes, cut the potatoes in approximately 2 inch chunks. Smaller potatoes like red potatoes can be left whole. Add the potatoes to the liquid and cook on high for 5 minutes. If cooking cabbage, cut into thick slices or wedges and cook on high for 2-3 minutes. Use manual pressure release (letting the vent open and steam escape) for each.
• Drain liquid from the beef pouch and place the beef in the bottom of the slow cooker, fat side up. Add the spice mix from the pouch to the pot if desired.
• Pour the entire can or bottle of Guinness into the pot.
• Add water in the pot until the beef is submerged.
• Let the beef cook on slow for 8 hours for sliceable beef, and 10-11 hours for more tender beef.
• If cooking cabbage and potatoes, add them to the pot for the last hour of beef cooking. Cut the cabbage into large wedges or slices, and the potatoes in approximately 2 inch chunks. Smaller potatoes like red potatoes can be left whole.
