# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pour 4 cups water into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Place the corned beef brisket inside, fat side down if applicable. Sprinkle the included spice packet evenly over the brisket and add lightly smashed garlic cloves on top.
02 -
In a mixing bowl or large ziplock bag, toss baby red potatoes and baby carrots with olive oil and garlic salt until evenly coated. Arrange the vegetables around the brisket inside the Instant Pot.
03 -
Secure the Instant Pot lid and lock it. Set to pressure cook on HIGH for 45 minutes.
04 -
While the corned beef cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, light olive oil, Dijon mustard, caraway seeds, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
05 -
Gently toss the dressing with finely shredded red and green cabbage and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
06 -
After cooking completes, allow the pressure to naturally release for about 10 minutes, then carefully open the valve to release remaining steam. Remove the lid and transfer the potatoes and carrots to a serving platter; cover to keep warm. Place the brisket on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
07 -
Slice the brisket against the grain and arrange atop the vegetables. Serve immediately alongside the chilled Irish Coleslaw.
# Extra Suggestions:

Resting the brisket after cooking helps retain its juices and ensures tenderness.
