Instant Pot Beef Brisket

IMG_3772.jpg

This melt-in-your-mouth brisket is incredibly tender and delicious with a spice coating. Also, while a traditional oven brisket may take a few hours to make, a pressure cooker cooks it in a fraction of the time to equally flavorful results. Make this for your Sunday roast or simply prepare it to enjoy for lunches and dinners through the week.


Servings: 4 to 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 64 minutes


Ingredients

2 tablespoons avocado oil  (Use code TRAILTOHEALTH for 10% off)
1 tablespoon garlic powder 
1 tablespoon onion powder 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 brisket, about 2-3 lbs (Order grass-fed meat from Butcher Box (discount varies) or US Wellness Meats (15% off first 2 orders) with code TRAILTOHEALTH)
3 cups bone broth  (use code TRAILTOHEALTH for $10 off)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 


Directions

1. In a small bowl, stir the avocado oil with the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.

2. Rub the oil and spice mixture all over the brisket until coated.

3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Sear both sides of the brisket until browned, about 7 minutes per side. 

4. Place the brisket in an Instant Pot (use code TRAILTOHEALTH for 10% off) with the fat side facing up. If you need to cut the brisket so it sits in one layer, that is fine as you do not want to stack the meat.

5. Pour in the broth and fresh herbs, and add the thyme and rosemary.

6. Close the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. Set to MANUAL High Pressure for 50 minutes.

7. Let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes when done and then quick release after. 

8. Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve with a side of carrots or green beans.
