corned beef and cabbage

 

One of my favorite meals is corned beef and cabbage yet I never make it.  I looked through my pressure cooker cookbooks and to my surprise I came up empty handed.  Google to the rescue!  The first search page had a recipe from food.com with rave reviews.  I decided to give it a try.

My review:::  eh, it took me 3 hours from start to finish.  The beef was a bit dry and the vegetables over cooked.  Below is my adaptation to hopefully make the recipe right.
