When you want an amazingly delicious meal, this instant pot keto corned beef and cabbage will always satisfy! We make this dish with turnips, so it turns out incredibly flavorful and low carb! I hope you’ll enjoy this dish as much as we do!

Let’s talk about our corned beef!

Our corned beef is beef brisket that has been salt-cured. I like the ease of using the seasoning packet that comes with the corned beef. You’ll notice it contains similar ingredients to the herbs and spices used for pickling. It typically contains bay leaves, peppercorns, dill seeds, and mustard seeds, and may have others added as well. You have two cuts of corned beef to choose from, flat cut or point cut. The flat cut is leaner than the point cut. It’s also usually larger than the point cut. The flat cut is also more uniform in size, while the point cut is thicker at one end and thinner at the other. You can use either cut for this recipe. The nutrition will vary depending on which you use. For this dish, the nutrition provided is for using a point cut corned beef.

What other ingredients go into this instant pot keto corned beef and cabbage?

The ingredient list for this dish is short and sweet! To our corned beef, we simply add turnips and green cabbage. Turnips and cabbage are both good keto food choices. While turnips aren’t the lowest carb vegetables, in moderation, they can easily be incorporated into a keto plan. They are amazing as a side dish, mashed or roasted; and are an excellent choice for dishes such as pot roasts, stews, and this corned beef and cabbage! A good thing to know about turnips is that they’re harder and have thicker skin than potatoes. So, be careful when cutting them. Green cabbage is a low calorie and low carb food. It pairs so nicely with the corned beef and turnips in this dish. I love the presentation of chopping the cabbage into wedges for this dish. If you’d prefer, you could also roughly chop your cabbage.

How can I serve this instant pot keto corned beef and cabbage?

You have some great options for serving this dish. I like to arrange the corned beef, turnips, and cabbage on a large serving platter. This makes for a beautiful presentation. You can also cut your corned beef and place your vegetables in bowls for serving. The liquid left in the instant pot is pretty tasty, so you can always serve your corned beef, turnips, and cabbage in a bowl and ladle some of it over them. You can also top your turnips with a pat or two of butter if you’d like! Although this dish is a meal all on its own, if you’d like, you can add some keto biscuits as a perfect side. A nice green salad would also pair well with this dish.
