With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, you may find yourself wondering, “What can I make that’s fast, easy and a crowd pleaser that fits with a St. Patrick’s Day theme?” Look no further than these Reuben Sandwiches that use the Instant Pot to make the Corned Beef! The Corned Beef is super simple to make if you buy one of those vacuum sealed roasts at the store that come with pouch of spices.
You literally put the roast on the trivet in the pot, add spices and put a cup of water in there. Set it for 60 minutes and when the pressure has naturally released you have perfectly cooked, tender, corned beef!
At this point you could just eat the corned beef with some cabbage, carrots and potatoes if you wanted a more traditional corned beef dinner but, I personally didn’t grow up eating ‘Corned Beef and Cabbage’ so it’s not my first choice. I much prefer a good Reuben Sandwich. This recipe is super simple and sure not to disappoint even your pickiest eaters!
Place the trivet inside the instant pot and place the roast on top of the trivet. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle included seasonings from the corned beef roast on top of the roast.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot and push the manual cook button and increase the time to 60 minutes. Be sure to check that the valve is set to sealing!
While beef is cooking, combine the vinegar, oil, sugar and salt and add to the cole slaw mix. Stir to coat. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
Allow a natural pressure release when time is up (usually about 10-15 minutes), and then remove the roast to a cutting board and slice
Butter bread and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and place under the broiler until golden brown.
Add sliced corned beef to one slice of prepared bread per sandwich and top with Swiss cheese. Place under the broiler and allow cheese to melt.
Top with coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing and finish with the other piece of bread.
