Last Minute From-Scratch Corned Beef
"Yes, you can have from homemade corned beef the same day the lightbulb goes off that it’s Saint Paddy’s Day … TONIGHT. Just pull out your pressure cooker and this from-scratch corned beef (which is better than any store-bought version you’ve tasted, and blissfully free of all those preservatives they’re soaked with) can be on the stove in under ten minutes and on the table in less than three hours...."
