David Venables Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Put rack in pressure cooker; add beef & juice from package into the cooker.
• 2. Pour beer into large measure cup (over 4 cup). Add beef broth to bring total liquid to 4 cups. You may need to add additional water to bring the liquid up to the top of the roast before you start cooking; add the garlic, bay leaves, spice packet, and pickling spices to the pot.
• 3. Start your cooker at high pressure and set for 90 minutes. (These instructions are for digital or electric pressure cookers only.) Allow pressure to release on its own.
• 4. If the roast is fork tender, remove from pot and cover with aluminum foil.
• 5. At this point add cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Set cooker for 15 minutes. Let pressure release on its own. If all are tender, serve with roast and juices in the pot.

Steps:

• Remove the corned beef from its packaging in the sink and reserve the spice packet. Rinse the beef well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. (If you don't rinse the brine off the meat, it will be too salty.) If there is a substantial fat cap on top of the beef, you can place the beef on a cutting board and trim most of it, if you'd like. (The fat will not completely render away during cooking.) Be sure to leave at least a thin layer of fat on top, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, to keep the meat moist.
• Put the corned beef into the pressure cooker with the fat cap facing up. Add the wine and the spices from the packet. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Open the lid. Drop the potatoes and carrots into the liquid that surrounds the beef. Lay the cabbage wedges on top. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 15 more minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. Using tongs, remove the cabbage wedges, potatoes and carrots to a serving platter.
• Heat the broiler to high. Stir together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Using tongs, remove the corned beef from the pressure cooker and put it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Spread the honey-mustard all over the top and sides of the beef and place it under the broiler; cook until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes in spots, about 3 minutes.
• Let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes then slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch slabs. Place the beef slices on the serving platter alongside the vegetables and drizzle everything with a little bit of the cooking liquid. Taste the vegetables, and season them with flaky sea salt, if necessary. (The beef will not need to be seasoned with salt.) Season the beef and vegetables to taste with black pepper. Serve with Dijon mustard.

Steps:

• Place corn beef in pressure cooker. If, too large, cut in half. Add season packet, that comes with meat, along with bay leaf, garlic and pickling spices if using. Add water, so just even with top of meat.
• Turn burner on, and bring to a boil, put cover and rocker on, and cook until rocker starts rocking. Keep at medium to low rocking motion, and cook for 1 hour. Turn off burner. Allow pressure to escape on it's own. Carefully open pot and remove meat to serving platter. Let rest 5 minutes, and slice in thin slices, against the grain with electric knife.

Steps:

• Place the onion, potatoes and carrots in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Combine the water, garlic, bay leaf, sugar, vinegar, pepper and contents of spice packet; pour over vegetables. Top with brisket and cabbage. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high and set time for 70 minutes. , When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Discard bay leaf before serving.

Steps:

• Place brisket fat-side up on a rack inside an electric pressure cooker. Sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder over brisket; pour beer into the pot.
• Seal pressure cooker and cook beef on the "meat" setting according to manufacturer's instructions, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer brisket to a cutting board. Remove top layer of fat from the brisket. Slice across the grain using an electric knife.
