Instant Pot Beef Brisket

Before we get started, let’s gather our ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 pounds beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions:

  1. First, start by seasoning the brisket with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme. Make sure the spices cover the meat evenly.
  2. In your Instant Pot, set it to the sauté function and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the brisket and set it aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
  4. Next, deglaze the pot by adding the apple cider vinegar and scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. This will add great flavor!
  5. Add the beef broth, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Return the brisket to the pot and make sure it’s submerged in the liquid.
  7. Close the Instant Pot lid, seal the valve, and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Allow the pot to natural release for at least 15 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
  8. Once the brisket is done, carefully remove it from the pot and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

Serve the brisket with your favorite sides and enjoy a dish that will surely impress anyone. Bon appétit!
