Step 3: Pour over the beef broth and top with quartered onion.
Step 4: Cover the corned beef in broth, if need be add more or water to top it off. Close the lid.
Step 5: Valve on the Instant Pot needs to be set to sealing. Do manual high pressure for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Step 6: Next, allow the meat to natural release for 20 minutes on the timer goes off when the meat is done. Push off any excess pressure after the 20 minute mark.
Step 7: Carefully remove beef and place on a lined baking sheet. Brush with mustard and broil in the oven till browned.

Storage
You can store any leftover corned beef brisket in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Anything after that I recommend placing in a freezer bag or vacuum seal bag and freeze. You can freeze the meat for up to three months in a freezer friendly container.
Or extend the the freezer life by vacuum sealing.

Recipe FAQs
Corned beef is made using a brisket cut piece of beef. The brisket is brined and then pairs with a pickling packet to use. The beef is brined in a heavy rock salt.
Because the corned beef is brined in salt and a sodium nitrite mixture, you will find that the corned beef remains pink even once it is fully cooked.
Rinsing corned beef is not required. I find rinsing the corned beef brisket helps to remove the excess salt from the brining process.
Corned beef needs to reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees, to be done. I recommend using a meat thermometer to check it.
