And once you see how easy it is to make corned beef and cabbage in this thing, you’ll want to get one ASAP. 😉

But first, let me answer some of your pressing questions about making homemade corned beef and cabbage…

What Is Corned Beef And Cabbage?

A traditional corned beef and cabbage recipe features a salt-cured slab of beef. Brisket is typically the cut that is used. It was originally created in order to help preserve meat, and became popular during World War I and World War II when fresh meat was rationed.

Corned beef is typically served with cooked cabbage, carrots, and potatoes as well. My keto corned beef and cabbage recipe has all the same amazing flavors, but with fewer carbs.

Most Irish corned beef and cabbage recipes often takes hours to cook in the oven or slow cooker. Fortunately, this one doesn’t! With the Crock-Pot pressure cooker, it’s ready in just about an hour-and-a-half… and almost all of that is hands off time.

Best Cut Of Corned Beef: What Part Of The Cow Is Corned Beef?

Corned beef cabbage recipes are made with beef brisket. There are actually two cuts of brisket, as it’s two different muscles.

You can choose which one of these cuts of meat to use for corned beef:

• The fatty section of the brisket is considered the point cut , and sometimes called the deckle .
• The leaner cut is called the first or flat cut . It has the deckle removed, which makes it leaner.

I used flat cut in my pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Corned Beef – At certain times of year (especially around St. Patrick’s Day), you can find corned beef at any conventional grocery store. If you can’t find it, ask the meat department as they may have it stored in the freezer. Otherwise, a butcher shop will carry corned beef year-round. If they don’t have it, they can order it for you if you call ahead.
• Cabbage (obviously!) – The cabbage gets all soft and delicious. Remove the core from the cabbage. Slice into large wedges.
• Onions – The onions are cooked and then discarded as they are used for flavor only (and they are pretty flavorless after the cooking process). Peel and cut into 6 large pieces.
• Celery root – Instead of potatoes, we’re using celery root! It makes such an excellent (and low carb and keto!) replacement for potatoes. I fell in love with it when I made keto beef stew recently, and have been obsessed ever since. If you don’t need this recipe to be low carb, feel free to use potatoes instead of celery root. The recipe will be the same otherwise! Peel the celery root and cut into 2-inch chunks. Find a visual for how to cut celery root in my keto beef stew recipe post.
• Seasoning Packet – The corned beef seasoning packet will vary a bit depending on the brand, but it is essentially a pickling mixture that often times includes whole spices like: Yellow or brown mustard seed Bay leaf Black Peppercorns Whole Allspice Dried Chiles Whole Cloves Anise Seeds Bay Leaves

How To Make Corned Beef And Cabbage

Surprise, it takes just 10 minutes to prep – which is almost unbelievable considering the meal you’ll end up with. Let’s make this keto corned beef and cabbage dinner in the pressure cooker:

• Rinse corned beef. Unwrap the corned beef brisket and set aside the seasoning packet. Rinse the brisket under water, then pat dry.
• Trim the corned beef. This step is optional if you prefer a leaner cut of meat.
• Season the brisket . Place the brisket, fat side up, into the Crock-Pot Pressure Cooker XXL. Sprinkle the seasonings from the packet over the brisket and pat the seasonings gently into the meat to help it stick.
• Pour bone broth into the pressure cooker , around the brisket, but not right over it so that you don’t disturb the seasonings.

• Cook brisket . Cover and turn the lid to seal. Press Manual Pressure and increase time to 1 hour and 15 minutes. When the time is up, use the Quick Release to release pressure. Once the steam is done coming out, open the lid.
• Meanwhile, mix up the horseradish sauce. Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
• Add the vegetables . Pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage needs veggies, too! To the pressure cooker, add the chopped onion, celery root, and cabbage into the broth around the beef, in that order. (Cabbage should be on top!) Lightly season the veggies with salt and pepper after adding the celery root, and again after adding the cabbage.

• Cover and cook on high for 15 more minutes. Then, use Quick Release and open the lid. You’ll notice more liquid, soft veggies, and fully cooked corned beef.

• Brown the easy corned beef and cabbage recipe . This step is optional, but a quick broil is an easy way to brown the meat.
• Slice the corned beef . Cut the meat against the grain (more on this below) in 1/2-inch slices and place onto a platter.

• Serve up your perfect corned beef and cabbage recipe! Place the corned beef and cabbage, along with the celery root onto a platter and serve with the horseradish sauce.

My Recipe Tips

• Make sure that you buy the corned beef already brined but uncooked. Cooked corned beef is usually available (especially around St. Patrick’s Day) but it’s way less flavorful and not what we are looking for in this corned beef and cabbage recipe.
• Rinsing the beef is important. This is because the keto corned beef and cabbage will be too salty otherwise.
• Leave at least 1/4 inch of fat on the brisket. This will provide flavor during the cooking process.
• The corned beef brisket is not fully cooked when you add the cabbage! We’re just opening the lid so we can add the veggies.
• Try not to cover the beef with the vegetables so it can brown properly. If it’s buried, it’ll steam instead of getting that nice sear.
• Cover and chill the sauce in the refrigerator. This helps the flavors develop.
• Cutting the meat against the grain breaks up the muscle fibers . This makes each bite more tender and easier to chew.

How To Slice Corned Beef

Now that you know how to make corned beef and cabbage, it’s time to learn how to slice it! While it may seem intimidating, it’s really quite simple:

• Transfer corned beef onto a sturdy cutting board.
• Check which way the grain fibers run in your corned beef.
• Grab a chef’s knife. Don’t use a serrated knife, which would tear the meat.
• Slice the meat at a right angle from the direction of the grain , about 1/2-inch thick.

• Why Is It Called Corned Beef? Corned beef got its name from the salt-curing process it goes through. Contrary to what the name might suggest, it does not involve any corn. The salt used in curing corned beef is large and sometimes called “corns” of salt. You can certainly cure your own corned beef, but the simplest method – and the one used in this quick and easy corned beef and cabbage recipe – is to buy cured corned beef.
• How Long Does It Take To Cook? Corned beef needs to be cooked low and slow – unless you’re making my pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage recipe! Using the Crock-Pot Pressure Cooker XXL has a big advantage: you can still cook the corned beef in a gently way, but at a much faster pace. This corned beef and cabbage pressure cooker recipe has about 90 minutes of cooking time, once it reaches full pressure. Cooking time will depend a bit on your brisket size, and of course, cooking method.
• Can You Overcook It? Yes, it is possible to overcook corned beef, and you definitely don’t want to end up with mushy meat. But you also want to make sure to cook it until it’s tender, as brisket is a tough cut of meat. You want to cook the corned beef until it slices easily, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 to 160 degrees F. Fortunately, you don’t have to figure out how to long to cook corned beef because I took care of that when I tested this recipe. Unlike oven recipes for corned beef, you don’t have to do any temperature testing fort his one. Just follow the times listed in the instructions on the recipe card below!
• Slow Cooker vs. Pressure What’s the Difference? If you want to learn how to make corned beef and cabbage from scratch, but prefer to use your Crock-Pot slow cooker, you certainly can. The main difference between slow cooker and pressure cooker corned beef is the cooking time. Note: You may need to add more broth or water so that the brisket is almost fully submerged, and just as with the pressure cooker, add in the vegetables at the end of the cooking time so that they don’t turn into mush. Cooking time will vary slightly depending on size of corned beef, but will be about 5-6 hours on High or 8-10 hours on Low.
• How Many Carbs In Corned Beef And Cabbage? Is corned beef and cabbage keto? Definitely! Each serving of this gluten free corned beef and cabbage recipe has just 6 grams net carbs. Pretty great for a whole meal! This corned beef and cabbage pressure cooker recipe is keto, low carb, gluten-free, and easily paleo and whole30 approved.

Serving Ideas

You’ve learned how to make corned beef and cabbage. But what do you serve with it? This recipe already includes cabbage and celery root sides, so you don’t really need more!

But if you want to add some other vegetable side dishes , here are some great options:

• Best Mashed Cauliflower – When I say the best, I mean the BEST! This mashed cauliflower is incredibly smooth and creamy. It’s delicious.
• Sauteed Broccoli – This easy side adds major green color to your keto corned beef and cabbage.

Instructions

Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.

1. Unwrap the corned beef brisket and set aside the seasoning packet. Rinse corned beef under cold water, then pat dry. (It will be too salty if you don’t rinse it.) If you prefer, trim any excess fat from the brisket - this is up to you as fat is not an issue for keto, but I prefer a leaner corned beef. (Trimming is more necessary for a point cut brisket, less so for a flat cut.) At minimum, leave about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.
2. Place the brisket, fat side up, into the 10 QT Crock-Pot Express Easy Steam Release Pressure Cooker. Sprinkle the seasonings from the packet over the brisket and pat gently to help them stick.
3. Pour the beef bone broth into the pressure cooker, around the brisket but not over it, to avoid disturbing the seasonings.
4. Cover and turn the lid to seal. Press Manual Pressure (defaults to High) and increase time to 1 hour 15 minutes . Press Start. When time is up, use the Quick Release to release pressure. Once no steam is coming out, open the lid.
5. Meanwhile, stir together the horseradish sauce ingredients. Cover and chill in the fridge until the corned beef is ready.
6. After opening the lid of the pressure cooker, add the chopped onion, celery root, and cabbage into the broth around the beef, in that order (cabbage should be on top). Lightly season the cabbage with salt and pepper on top.
7. Cover and cook on High pressure again for 15 more minutes . Allow pressure to release naturally (preferred for more tender corned beef), which will take about 10 minutes , and after that use Quick Release.
8. Slice the corned beef into 1/2-inch slices, or if desired, first transfer it to a roasting pan and place under the broiler in the oven for a few minutes to brown (optional).
9. To serve, place the sliced corned beef and cabbage (along with onions and celery root) onto a platter. Drizzle with cooking liquid, if desired. Serve with horseradish sauce.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
