Instant Pot Beef Brisket
Description
The recipe starts by tenderizing and seasoning a 2-pound Certified Angus beef brisket with kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. The brisket is placed in an Instant Pot with sliced red onion, smashed garlic cloves, and beef broth to add moisture and aroma during cooking.
A BBQ sauce containing ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, liquid smoke, and spices is prepared separately. Half the sauce is poured over the brisket before sealing the pot. The brisket is pressure cooked on high for 60 minutes, then allowed a natural release followed by a quick release for tender, well-flavored meat.
The brisket is sliced thinly against the grain and served with the reserved heated BBQ sauce poured over the top. This combination creates a balance of smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors that complement the rich, tender beef.
