Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage is so easy to make. It cooks up so tender, that once you try this easy pressure cooker Corned Beef recipe, you’ll never make it any other way.
Why Should I Make Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage?
There are at least two huge advantages to making Instant Pot corned beef rather than doing it on the stovetop.
First, of course, is the time. It takes about 90 minutes to cook up tender, and delicious.
And guess what?
You don’t have to babysit it. I don’t know about you, but I can find a LOT of great ways to spend 90 minutes–almost NONE of which involve watching over corned beef!
Why Does This Instant Pot Corned Beef And Cabbage Recipe Have Two Steps?
Now the one thing to note is that you must do this main course in two steps. Pressure cooker corned beef takes 90 minutes. Pressure cooker cabbage takes less than 5 minutes.
Do not try to do it all in one go! Don’t trust any recipe that tells you that you can make pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage in one step.
If you try to cook everything all at once, your veggies will turn to absolute mush and the whole meal will be inedible.
How Do You Cook Corned Beef and Cabbage In The Instant Pot?
Here are the steps you’ll need to make this Instant Pot recipe :
- Add corned beef to the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water.
- Cook on high pressure for 80-90 minutes and release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, and then release remaining pressure.
- Add cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, and shut the lid. Cook for 4 minutes on high pressure with a quick release.
Do You Rinse Corned Beef Before Cooking?
Whether or not to rinse your corned beef before cooking is completely up to your personal preference. If you want a more mellow tasting and less salty Instant Pot Corned Beef , go ahead and rinse it before you cook.
I don’t rinse when I make this recipe. I feel like the water added to the Instant Pot to help it come to pressure does a good enough job of diluting the salt.
How Can I Make This Keto?
A lot of my readers are like me, and try to maintain a Keto lifestyle year round. Making this Corned beef recipe Keto is simple. Remove the potatoes and carrots . Reduce cook time to 2 minutes for soft cabbage, or just shut the lid and let the residual heat cook the cabbage for firm cabbage.
How Long Does It Last?
Corned Beef is a great option for meal prep because of how long it lasts after it is cooked. You can expect to use it in a variety of ways for 4-5 days after preparing it.

This Israeli Couscous Salad Recipe combines couscous with delicious veggies, seasonings, and feta cheese for a delightful vegetarian dish you’ll love. Make this easily and quickly in your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker.
What Makes This Israeli Couscous Recipe So Great
Not a lot of people think of couscous when they think of amazing dishes , but they really should. This is one of those recipes that makes your mouth water while you cook couscous .
Every step of this recipe ( and there aren’t very many ) will have you anticipating it in your bowl so you can shovel it in your mouth. Or maybe that’s just me!
Warm corn and peas mixed with the flavorful couscous with the added crunch from the red onion, and the creamy feta cheese makes this the side dish of your dreams!
How To Make This Israeli Couscous Salad
- Saute. Turn the Instant Pot on Sauté. When it is hot, add oil. To the hot oil, add cumin seeds and turmeric and allow them to sizzle for 10 seconds. Press CANCEL.
- Add veggies . Add onion, peas and carrots, couscous, salt and garam masala.
- Cook. Close the lid and select PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 3 minutes. Allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 5 minutes, and then release all pressure immediately.
- Finish. Mix in chopped red onion and feta cheese and serve.
Yes, all couscous is pasta.
For traditional couscous, all you need to do is rinse with hot water to rehydrate it since it has already been cooked. If you’re making Israeli couscous, you will need to boil for a short period of time since it is not precooked. Since it is a very tiny pasta, it will cook in very little time. If you’re using your Instant Pot, you’ll want to cook for ZERO minutes under high pressure.
Israeli Couscous has several different names you can find it under. The most common name is Ptitim, but it’s also called Jerusalem couscous, giant couscous or pearl couscous.
All couscous is pasta . Like other pasta, it’s made from semolina flour mixed with water. If you buy regular couscous, that pasta has been precooked and then dried. That is why typically all you have to do is moisten it with hot water and let it rehydrate. Israeli couscous is also a pasta–but it’s larger and hasn’t been precooked. It requires boiling in hot water to cook.
Well, that depends on who you ask. Couscous is high in carbohydrates, so it’s not great for a Keto diet . However, it is high in protein and fiber, so it can be a good addition to your diet if you’re not watching carbs.
What’s is in this Isreali Couscous Pilaf Recipe?
So I made up this recipe of course. My version includes Isreali couscous, peas, corn, carrots, turmeric, garam masala (and other spices) and is finished with red onion and feta cheese.
How Long Does It Take To Make Isreali Couscous?
- Isreali Couscous. In the Instant Pot , you are looking at no more than 3 minutes under pressure with a 5-minute natural release for Israeli couscous.
- Regular Couscous. For regular couscous, you can set the pressure cooker to 0 minutes under pressure and quick release.
Tips and Tricks for Making this Israeli Couscous Pilaf Recipe
- Wait until serving to add the cheese and onion for best results.
- Know what to buy. This is what Israeli couscous looks like.
- Tricolor. I often like to use this tricolor couscous to add a little more visual appeal to the dish.
- Regular couscous. Do not substitute regular couscous in this dish.
- Orzo. You can, however, substitute orzo if you prefer.
- Water absorption. The Couscous will continue to absorb water for a while after you cook it. So if you open the pot and see a little water left in there, just let the pasta sit in the pot for a few minutes.
- Chilling. Sometimes if I’m in a hurry, I rinse the couscous under cold water to chill it before adding the onions and cheese.

The Couscous will continue to absorb water for a while after you cook it. So if you open the pot and see a little water left in there, just let the pasta sit in the pot for a few minutes.
Note that this recipe uses very little water. If you are using an 8 quart pressure cooker, you may want to double the recipe and increase water to 1.75 cups.
If your seal is at all faulty, and you find the pressure cooker hissing steam but not coming up to pressure, thump the top of the lid. Often this is enough to make the pressure valve pop up.
