St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and the traditional dish to serve up is corned beef. I created this Instant Pot Beer Braised Corned Beef & Cabbage with potatoes. This is a perfect dish to serve up this St. Patty’s Day to get your home in the spirit of the holiday or any time of year. Make some homemade dinner rolls to soak up the juice and you have a whole meal. 

The beer will really add a ton of flavor to your corned beef, giving it that dark and rich flavor. If you use just water, it won’t be as flavorful in the end. The Instant Pot really helps give the corned beef a nice tender and juicy texture so each bite will just pull apart and melt in your mouth. I am not the hugest fan of corned beef and cabbage, but those who did eat this gave rave reviews. Plus this dish offers a stunning presentation to wow your family and friends. The instant pot helps cook this traditional dish a lot quicker and really marries the flavors giving you a dish cooked perfectly. 

Adapting the Instant Pot Beer Braised Corned Beef & Cabbage with potatoes to the instant pot

 If you are like many the Instant Pot is your go-to method for cooking. I use my instant pot many times during the week, and if a recipe doesn’t show the steps for an instant pot, I adapt it. I have found that it really infuses the flavors of the pickling spices and beer, and it comes out succulent and rich bold flavors. 

I have many recipes using Beer or Wine like Instant Pot Beer Can Chicken, Olive Garden Shrimp Scampi, The Ultimate Instant Pot Pot Roast

Fun Facts About St. Patrick’s Day 

• Since this is a traditional dish served for St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, I thought it would be fun to add in some fun facts about the green-loving holiday! 
• Saint Patrick was a saint of the Catholic Church, and the day of his death was March 17, 461 AD. That is why St. Patrick’s Day is still celebrated today, as the day he passed and entered heaven. 
• There are around 34 million Irish people living in the US, that is more than the number of Irish people who live in Ireland. 
• Experts say it is hard to find a 4-leaf-clover and they say 1 in 10,000 is the close estimate. 
• Originally blue was the color associated with Saint Patrick not green.
