Instant Pot Irish Dinner

I love making Corned Beef around St. Patrick’s Day, but this year when I went to Whole Foods, they no longer were selling their in-house corned beef. Only the dyed-pink meat was available. Gross.

So I picked up a 3lb grass-fed brisket and thought I’d just cure my own. But, that takes 5 days, and there was a big blizzard today. I wanted a nice comfort meal stat, so I just invented my own Instant Pot version of a classic New England boiled dinner or what I like to call, “Instant Pot Irish Dinner.” My speedy version of this dish is full of umami and the meat just melts in your mouth!
