Most years around St. Patrick’s Day I make Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage. This dish is amazing in the Instant Pot!

First, you toast rye bread. You can either use a toaster or do this in a skillet. If you use a skillet, spray it with olive oil over medium-high heat. You can add the cheese slices on top of one of the bread slices so that the cheese melts while the bread toasts.

Next, load up your corned beef brisket.

From there, add the sauerkrout.

Then, spread thousand island dressing on the other toasted side of the bread. Top the sandwich. VOILA! That was pretty quick and easy, right?

Ingredients

Corned Beef

  • 3-4 pound corned beef brisket
  • 2-3 cups chicken broth Or any broth, I used 3 cups.

Sandwich

  • sliced rye bread
  • 1-2 tablespoons sauerkraut for each sandwich

  • Release the steam. Open the pot and remove the beef. Set aside to cool.
  • Using two forks, shred the beef.

Sandwich Preparation

  • Toast the rye bread.
  • Add the Swiss cheese on top of one of the bread slices while the toasted bread is still hot so that it melts.

This looks great except for the shredded corned beef. Is there any way the corned beef brisket would come out of the Instant Pot so it could be sliced not shredded?

It comes out whole. I shredded it.

Reubens have always been my favorite sandwich and I've never thought to make them in the Instant Pot. Such a great idea, I can't wait to try this for my kids!
