Who knew i will try to cook corned beef in the air fryer. I was pretty skeptical at first, but then i gave it a try.
So when you cook this type of meat in crock pot or instant pot, it takes long time for the meat to get tender. In air fryer instead, you cook it well from outside and keep al the juices in.
This way of cooking will not give you melt in your mouth tender meat, but instead you will get a nice juicy piece of corned beef, then you can thinly slice across the grain and enjoy with any meal.
Or, it will be perfect for additional recipes like corned beef hush , tacos or wraps. Just cut it finely and use as directed.
Did you ever wonder what corned beef is anyways? What cut of meat is it?
Brisket is traditionally used for corned beef. Then it cured in salt and cooked low and slow for maximum tenderness. In this recipe we cook it in air fryer so it doesn’t come as tender and but its so good for slicing and using in sandwiches.
Air fryer corned beef
Ingredients
- 2 lb corned beef
Instructions

Wash the corned beef piece. I like to wash it really well to remove all extra salt. Place meat inside your air fryer basket.

Set air fryer to 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Then check on your corned beef and cook for additional 15 minutes on 375.

Once cooked, take it out and let the meat seat for a few minutes. Then slice thin and across the grain and enjoy.

Keep in mind that corned beef cooked this way is good for sandwiches when thinly sliced across the grain. Also great in a breakfast hash recipe. The meat is not really tender when cooked!
