Instant Pot Reuben Sandwiches

Okay here is my last post for my Irish inspired recipes for this month. These Instant Pot Reuben Sandwiches are the best. Corned beef has never been easier, faster, or more tender! If you are grabbing your Corned Beef brisket this week….you should try these. Mike and I actually make these Rueben’s quite often.

Every year I try to cook a few Irish inspired recipes to honor my heritage. Even if you aren’t Irish, you probably love a good Reuben Sandwich when you head out to a restaurant or bar. I know I do. Once we bought the Instant Pot..(or pressure cooker) I knew this was something we had to make to get tender results.

So if you do not want to make the sandwiches this is still a great way to cook Coned Beef Brisket In the Instant Pot! Then you could serve it up with cabbage, or any of your other favorite corned beef recipes!

What you Need for these Instant Pot Reuben Sandwiches

  • Corned Beef Brisket (with seasoning packet)
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Swiss Cheese
  • Thousand Island Dressing
  • Bread of choice
Ingredients for Rueben Sandwiches

This Instant Pot Reuben Sandwiches are so easy and the brisket is so tender it shreds after about 1 1/2 hours in the Instant Pot with just the seasoning packet it comes with, some water, and garlic! I use these BBQ Meat Claws for easy shredding.

How to cook the Corned Beef Brisket in the Instant Pot

Start by adding the beef to you Instant Pot with the seasoning packet it came with. Add in some fresh garlic.

Then add the water and seal and lock the lid and select “high pressure cook” for an hour and a half. Once it is done you can manually release the pressure or let it go naturally. Carefully remove the lid and shred the meat.
