Instant Pot Brisket Sliders with Caramelized Onions
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning a 1½-pound beef brisket with a beef-flavored spice rub, then searing it in olive oil in an Instant Pot set to sauté mode. After browning all sides, including positioning the fatty side up, liquid smoke and beef broth are added, and the pot is sealed to cook the brisket under high pressure for 50 minutes. Natural pressure release ensures the meat remains tender. Once cooked, the brisket is shredded.
Buns are arranged in a baking dish, topped with shredded brisket, caramelized onions, barbecue sauce, provolone cheese, and then covered with the top halves of the buns. A butter mixture with onion and garlic powder is brushed over, and the assembled sliders are baked at 350°F until the cheese melts and the buns crisp and brown.
The sliders feature layers of slow-cooked beef flavor, sweetness from the barbecue sauce and onions, and savory notes from the spices and melted cheese. They work well as a party appetizer or casual meal. The use of an Instant Pot accelerates traditional brisket preparation while preserving depth of flavor and tenderness.
