08 -
½ cup mayonnaise
09 -
1 tablespoon honey
10 -
1 tablespoon light olive oil

1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
12 -
1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Salt, to taste
14 -
3 cups finely shredded red cabbage
15 -
3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
16 -
2 tablespoons dried or fresh parsley (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pour 4 cups of water into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Place the corned beef brisket inside with the fatty side down if present. Sprinkle the spice packet and place the lightly smashed garlic cloves on top of the brisket. In a bowl or large ziplock bag, toss baby red potatoes and baby carrots with olive oil and garlic salt, then arrange them around the brisket inside the pot.
02 -
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on HIGH for 45 minutes.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, light olive oil, Dijon mustard, caraway seeds, and salt to taste.
04 -
Gently toss the dressing with the finely shredded red and green cabbage and fresh parsley if using. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
05 -
Once cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes, then manually release remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid. Transfer carrots and potatoes to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Place corned beef on a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
06 -
Slice the corned beef against the grain and arrange it on top of the potatoes and carrots. Serve immediately alongside the Irish coleslaw.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Allowing the corned beef to rest before slicing ensures juicier, more tender meat.
02 -
The coleslaw keeps cabbage crisp and adds a refreshing contrast to the rich corned beef.
