Anyone have a kick-ass corned beef and cabbage recipe?
 

Preferably cooked in a pressure-cooker.

I have a pre-brined brisket in the fridge and I'm trying to decide on the best/fastest way to cook it for me and some friends.

Mine's sitting in a crockpot with pickling spices and apple cider. Not sure about a pressure cooker - haven't even seen one since I was a kid :( but "pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage" in Google pulls up a ton of recipes. Enjoy :)

Yah of course I UTFS, but was looking for personal experiences.

The oven can take around 4-hours (varies on size of brisket). A pressure cooker will reduce cook time, but I am not sure of the out come.

I prefer slow roasting the slab in a barbecue.

Best of luck and enjoy the green libations.

Ya add your brisket to your pressure cooker with about 3 cups cooking liquid. (water, beer, cider, etc). Slice up a medium onion and toss that in there. Toss in your pickling spices (about 1 tsp), about 10-12 peppercorns (roughly a tsp), 1-3 bay leaves depending on your tastes (I go for 2), then I personally add about an extra 1/2 tsp mustard seeds (optional).

Lock lid, crank to high to bring to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure. Cook about 50-55 minutes. Let pressure come down naturally (do not run under cold water or fast vent). Remove meat & onions and set aside.

Add your cabbage wedges to the pressure cooker. Lock up lid, bring to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure. Cook approx 2-3 minutes. Quick release the pressure (running water or quick vent *becarfull of steam).

Your done.

Optionally you can add some potatoes and carrots at first stage. People often insist on white Irish (Idaho) potatoes, personally I like small reds whole with some skin removed.

Lastly quality brown mustard, beer, and bread are a must with this meal.
