I literally hunt down restaurants that serve corned beef and call ahead to make sure that they have it before going to the restaurant. Why is corned beef soooo good?  There is no reason that you should only eat this delicious cut of meat around St. Patrick's day or at a restaurant. You can make corned beef and cabbage on a more regular basis at home!

Usually, I am super impatient and cannot seem to wait long enough to eat it....because it takes sooo long to cook!  I have always made corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot and it took about 8 hours to fully cook it until tender.  

I have great news for anybody else that is impatient when it comes to corned beef.....you can cook it in the Ninja Foodi......to all of its tender goodness....in only 90 minutes!  What???  For real?  Yes!!!!

The best way to cook corned beef is in a pressure cooker!  It turns out more flavorful and tender than even a crock pot makes it. I hope you like our corned beef and cabbage Ninja Foodi recipe as much as we do!!

Tips for making Ninja Foodi Corned Beef and Cabbage

Do I really need to wait for the pressure to release on it's own?

Yes! Be patient!  Be sure to naturally release the pressure.  If you quick release the pressure, the corned beef will not be as tender.

Can I add in the vegetables at the same time as the corned beef?

No. The vegetables take substantially less time to cook than the corned beef does. Add in the vegetables at the end.  If you add the vegetables and cook for the full 90 minutes, they will be way overcooked.

How do I cut the corned beef?

Slice the corned beef diagonal across the grain of the meat.  If you slice the meat with the grain, it will be chewy and stringy.

How do I prevent the cabbage from overcooking while the potatoes and carrots are still cooking?

When cooking the vegetables, place the cabbage on top of the potatoes and carrots.  The steam will cook the cabbage and it will not be overcooked from being in the water.

What can I make with leftover corned beef?

Corned beef hash!! Save your leftover corned beef and make corned beef hash for breakfast!!  Seriously- do this.  Oftentimes I make corned beef and cabbage just so that I can make corned beef hash for breakfast!!

 How good does our homemade corned beef hash look??  You seriously need to try this with any leftover corned beef that you might have.....or do what I do and just make an extra corned beef!!!  Yummmm!!  Check out our recipe here!

Ingredients substitutions and tips for making Ninja Foodi Corned Beef and Cabbage

Pre-packaged corned beef with spice packet- any size will do.  I used a 3-pound corned beef

Carrots-large carrots cut into 3-inch pieces

Cabbage- quartered

Potatoes- you can use any kind of potatoes that you would like but I prefer to use red potatoes and cut them into quarters.

Garlic-minced

Water or beef broth- water works just fine but if you would like to add additional flavor, use beef broth. You can also use beer if you would prefer.

Directions for making Ninja Foodi Corned Beef and Cabbage

1. Place trivet or metal rack that came with your Ninja Foodi in the pot.

2. Place corned beef on top of trivet or metal rack- I rinse my corned beef first.

3. Pour in 4 cups of water or broth.

4. Sprinkle spice packet on top of corned beef.

5. Top corned beef with garlic and spread around on the top.

6. Close pressure cooking lid-set valve to "seal" and cook on high pressure 2-4 minutes based on your preference.
