Instant Pot Brisket takes just a fraction of the time it would take in the oven or slow cooker.  Add a simple rub before cooking and then slather in BBQ sauce before serving.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs.beef brisket, trimmed
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 4 tspgarlic, minced
  • 1 cupbeef broth
  • 3 tbspbrown sugar
  • 1 tbsppaprika
  • 1 tbspchili powder
  • 2 tspgarlic powder
  • 2 tsponion powder
  • 1 tsporegano
  • 2 tspsalt
  • 1 tspdry mustard
  • 1 tspcumin

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix rub ingredients together.

  2. 2

    If you have time, wrap beef in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2-24 hours to allow flavors to come together. I have also made it without refrigerating at all.

  3. 3

    Add oil and garlic to Instant Pot and saute using the saute setting for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rub brisket on both sides with rub mixture.  Cut brisket in half so it lays flat in the Instant Pot.

  5. 5

    Pour beef broth into the Instant Pot, around the meat so you don't wash off the rub.

  6. 6

    Put on the lid and cook on meat/stew setting for 90 minutes.  Do a 10 minute natural release and then a quick release.

  7. 7

    Remove meat and place on a cutting board.  Slice meat going against the grain.

  8. 8

    Add BBQ Sauce and serve.
