Steps
Start by soaking the beans for 12 hours. Drain the water, wash the beans and drain it again.
Cut corned beef into cubes, and ribs between bones (or into cubes, if boneless). Cut the bacon into pieces, and the sausage into slices. Chop onion and garlic.
In a large pan, sauté corned beef and ribs in olive oil (you will have to make it in batches). When they are seared, transfer them to a pressure cooker (I like Instant Pot) and add the drained beans, 10 cups of fresh water and smoked meat (in my case I like using smoked neck or ham hock).
Let it cook on High pressure for 30 minutes (after it gets pressure). When it's done cooking, let it naturally release pressure for 30 minutes.
While the beans are still cooking, place the bacon in the same pan in which you seared the meat, and fry the bacon in the fat it will release. Once it starts crispening, add onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent. Then add sausage and let it cook for a minute. Turn off the heat and wait for the beans and meats to finish cooking in the pressure cooker.
After the meats and beans are ready, and pressure has been naturally released for 30 minutes, transfer everything to the same big pan, with the sausage, bacon, onion and garlic. Add the bay leaves and adjust salt if necessary. Cook it over medium heat for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until liquid thickens to your liking.Your feijoada is ready! Serve it on a bed of white rice, vinaigrette, farofa and orange slices.Enjoy it!

Amanda Nunes on 2021-10-27 (5 stars): Hi Lilian, I’m Brazilian and I loved your recipe and all the website content. I loved the way you seasoned the Feijoada. This recipe is so delicious.
Thanks for sharing that amazing recipe with us. Feijoada reminds me of my childhood and so many parties and get-togethers. Trying your recipes made me revive that part of me, thank you so much. I live in West Virginia, so I had a hard time finding the ingredients, but luckily I came across this website when I could find truly Brazilian rice, beans, and farofa. You are amazing, thank you again!
