Instructions

  • If necessary, trim Brisket to 1/4 inch fat or less. Pack Dry Rub onto Brisket. Place Brisket in Ziploc Bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or longer…the longer the better. (Note: you can let it sit in the refrigerator overnight)
  • Once marinated, remove paper from Garlic Cloves and cut 1/2 Onion into strips.
  • Turn Instant Pot to “Saute,” “High” and press “Start.” When up to temperature, add the Brisket. Let it sear on one side for about 3 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side for another 3 minutes. Remove.
  • Add Garlic Cloves and Onion to the Instant Pot and sauté for about a minute.
  • Add Beef Broth to deglaze. Scrape off bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add BBQ Sauce and Liquid Smoke. Stir.
  • Place Brisket back into the Instant Pot and secure the lid,
  • Turn the Instant Pot to “Pressure Cook, Meat,” “High” and set the timer for 1 hour. Press “Start”
  • Quick release the Pressure. Remove Brisket and let sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Slice across the grain into “pencil-thick” slices. Enjoy!
