With Saint Patrick’s day coming up this weekend, we are up to our knees in cabbages and potatoes. I’ve been cooking all sorts of authentic Irish, and Irish-inspired, dishes like Sweet Irish Soda Bread, Baileys Irish Cream Jello Shots, Pub Cheese, Irish Potato Pie, and Boxties with Whiskey Gravy. However, I’m really excited to share this easy Irish mash-up recipe with you today!
Secretly, I love corned beef in recipes, but have never been a big fan of the stand-alone Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage. (There must be something wrong with me.) I’m crazy over corned beef hash and corned beef sandwiches. I’ve even had corned beef pizza and egg rolls before that were both truly spectacular. My detachment to traditional corn beef and cabbage comes from the fact that most people over cook their beef, leaving the texture dry and grassy in texture.
Therefore this year I decided to make a not-so-authentic dish, combining the best attributes of both Corned Beef and Cabbage, and traditional Irish Stew. Plus, I made it in an electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot) for speed and easy clean up! This Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Cabbage Irish Stew recipe is simple to make and has all the elements we love to enjoy on Saint Paddie’s Day… Corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and a swirl of cheese to thicken and flavor the broth. Because the corned beef is cooked in the broth and served in the broth, is stays ultra moist. So tender in fact, that it nearly melts in your mouth!
It’s easy to over do it around the holidays and wear yourself out, trying to make the perfect meal. This Saint Patrick’s Day, simplify by making one soup that has it all. If you pair this Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Cabbage Irish Stew with a loaf of Irish bread and a stout beer, you have a meal all your friends will adore. Best of all, you’ll get to celebrate with them, instead of fussing over an elaborate meal while everyone else is having a good time.
By the way, I found the ingredients for my Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Cabbage Irish Stew recipe at ALDI. ALDI offers fabulous savings to make even your most decadent celebration meals budget-friendly. They do this by streamlining their stores as to not overspend on unnecessary employees, and by developing their own products to cut out the middle man. This savings is passed onto us! PS, my family can vouch that all the ALDI exclusive brands we’ve tried taste as good (or better) than their competitors, without added chemicals and synthetic ingredients. Last week on our ALDI shopping trip, my son Carson told me that when he moves out of the house he is going to do all his shopping at ALDI so he can afford a really nice car. LOL!! He’s pretty smart.
Ready to Make Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Cabbage Irish Stew?
Start by sautéing onions in an electric pressure cooker. Trim the corned beef and cut it into cubes. Then brown the corned beef in the same pot. Top the corned beef with mini golden potatoes, carrots, roughly chopped cabbage, thyme and water.
Pressure cook the soup for 30 minutes to soften the meat, cook the veggies, and create a rich rustic broth. Then stir in some shredded Dubliner cheese to thicken the broth. Heaven in a bowl!
