Introduction

Instant Pot Glazed Corned Beef & Cabbage is a modern twist on a classic Irish-American favorite. By using the convenience of an [Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart](https://amzn.to/4cl4uv4), this recipe drastically reduces cooking time without sacrificing the signature tenderness of corned beef or the sweetness of a honey-mustard glaze. The result: melt-in-your-mouth beef and perfectly tender cabbage, all bursting with robust flavor.

This is the ideal main dish for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, comforting weeknight dinners, or anytime you crave nostalgia with a gourmet upgrade.

Why Make Instant Pot Glazed Corned Beef & Cabbage?

Traditional corned beef and cabbage can take several hours – but with pressure cooking, you’ll have fork-tender meat and vibrant vegetables in a fraction of the time. The honey-mustard glaze caramelizes under the broiler, giving each slice a mouthwatering finish that balances salty, savory, and sweet. It’s a show-stopper for any crowd and easy enough for a weeknight family meal.

Prepping Your Vegetables for Maximum Flavor

The key to a great corned beef and cabbage dish is even chopping and timing. For hassle-free prep, use the [Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper](https://amzn.to/42cgV7v) to dice potatoes, carrots, and onions quickly and uniformly, ensuring each bite is perfectly cooked. This also speeds up prep work, making the whole recipe more approachable.

The Glaze: Bringing Sweet and Savory Together

After pressure cooking the corned beef to tenderness, slather it with a blend of brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard. You’ll finish the beef under the broiler or in an air fryer. If using an air fryer, the [COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey](https://amzn.to/4lein21) excels at caramelizing glazes evenly and in less time than a conventional oven.

How to Serve Glazed Corned Beef & Cabbage

Slice the glazed corned beef against the grain and serve with cabbage wedges, carrots, and potatoes. For easy cleanup and a beautiful tablescape, set your meal out on a [Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White](https://amzn.to/42q9Bq9). This makes family-style dining and post-meal cleanup a breeze, especially if you’re serving a crowd.
