Keto Corned Beef Hash and Eggs FAQs

Is corned beef keto friendly?

Most corned beef that you buy in grocery stores will be keto friendly. It also depends on what’s popular in your area. I’ve had a few readers say they can’t find the zero-carb corned beef that I’ve been able to pick up in several states that I’ve lived. In that case, you may need to look at a few different stores. I would look for the least processed kind. Sometimes corned beef is sold in a marinade with the spices and some sugar already on the beef. Steer clear of those. But most of us won’t have any problems finding zero to low carb corned beef in our local grocery stores.

How do I cook keto corned beef?

Cooking corned beef is actually super easy. For this recipe, I used an Instant Pot. I added onion slices to the bottom of my Instant Pot, added my rinsed and dried corned beef to the top of that, sprinkled on 1 tablespoon of golden monkfruit sweetener and some pickling spices and 3-5 teaspoons of minced garlic. Then I poured 1 cup of beef broth on the side and cooked the whole thing on high pressure for 90 minutes. Easy!
