For a 5 pound brined corned beef brisket. Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, on a rack. Sprinkle with the remaining brine blend and pour in 4 cups of water or beef broth. Lock the lid in place and close the vent. Select High Pressure and set or 90 minutes, with a natural pressure release. Do not use a quick pressure release.
If you don't have it, you can still make corned beef, but it is necessary for that vibrant pink color we associate with corned beef. And it adds flavor too. Without it the corned beef will be a dull grey color. Note that pink curing salt is NOT Himalayan pink salt.
But you can cook the corned beef in a slow cooker, on the stove top or in an instant pot. If you’ve never used a pressure cooker, they produce similar results to a slow cooker in a fraction of the time. Slow cooker: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 7 hours.
