Introduction

Cooking a corned beef can be a tricky and intimidating process, especially if you’re a beginner. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be: this recipe will walk you through the steps of cooking corned beef in an oven or Instant Pot so that you can make it without fail. We’ll also explain how long each method takes so that you know exactly what to expect when cooking your own corned beef at home!

What is corned beef?

Corned beef is a cured and pickled beef brisket. It’s traditionally served on St. Patrick’s Day, but you can enjoy it at any time of year.

In Ireland, corned beef is also called “junket.”

How long to cook a corned beef in the oven

Corned beef is a cut of beef that has been cured with salt. It can be cooked in the oven, on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. The cooking time depends on the size of your corned beef and the cut.

The most common way to cook corned beef is by boiling it for about an hour until tender enough to eat without much chewing required (though some people prefer their meat to be more chewable). However, if you don’t have time for boiling or want something different than what your grandparents did when they were growing up–or even just because they didn’t have access to modern appliances like microwaves back then–we’ve got options!

Cooking a corned beef in an Instant Pot

• Cooking a corned beef in an Instant Pot:
• Place the corned beef on a trivet or steamer basket, if you have one (this will keep it out of the liquid). Cover with water and cook for 60 minutes at high pressure. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
