Corned Beef 'n' Cabbage

4 cups water
1 (2 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
1 medium head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
2 large red potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 medium onion, cut into 2-inch pieces

In a 6-quart pressure cooker, combine water and contents of corned beef seasoning packet; add beef. Close cover securely; place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring cooker to full pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 45 minutes. (Pressure regulator should maintain a slow steady rocking motion; adjust heat if needed.)

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the cabbage, potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add carrots and onion. Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender; drain. Remove pressure cooker from the heat; allow pressure to drop on its own.

Remove beef to a serving platter. Discard cooking liquid.

Serve beef with cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onion.
