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.

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.
